Expo 2020 – Dubai

In a spark of pure wonderful coincidence, I stumbled across the concept visualization of Expo 2020 in Dubai – and boy does it look amazing, so I wanted to share.

To begin, Dubai’s Expo abstract theme, “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future,” is organized into three main sub-themes: mobility, sustainability and opportunity that are visualized by three main plazas at the center of the park, shown here:

In contrast to Shanghai’s Expo park which was organized similar to the block patterns of New York City, and Milan’s Expo park which was generally organized chaos, Dubai’s Expo is organized with a strong center complex that serves as the heart of the park, housing shared pavilions for entertainment and commercial and diplomatic networking.

As demonstrated by the visual, these three plazas are supported by a dynamic structural architecture that directs airflow and traffic to the three corners of the park.  (This is really going to come in handy when tons of people are saturating the park’s core in search of shade on those scorching summer days in the desert sun.  Dubai Expo, if you’re listening, you should have some walk-through misters like Disney World.  That’s all I’m saying….)

Expect more details in the future breaking down the map, design, and concept of Milan’s Expo for 2015.
