EXPO Dubai
The austrian pavilion offers space to enter into dialogue with the essential questions for a common and better future.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the EXPO business, visitors to the Austrian Pavilion will find a place to slow down and relax with pleasant climate, daylight and references to nature.
Thanks to its iconic shape and positive charisma, the temporary building will not only live on in the appreciative memories of its international guests beyond EXPO 2020.
Conceived with economical use of resources in mind from the beginning on, the pavilion will also persist in the physical sense - made possible by the construction of just eight different types of precast elements.
The interplay of local building tradition and intelligent climate engineering from Austria makes it possible to largely dispense with conventional air conditioning technology, even in this hot desert climate. The energy requirement has been reduced by more than 70 percent compared to buildings of similar type and use. The querkraft pavilion thus makes an intercultural contribution to the energy debate and questions of climate-sensitive building.
