Award Winning Austria Pavilion | EXPO 2020 Dubai | Architecture | Sustainable & Energy Saver | Sense

DUBAI
‘Austria makes sense’ is the ambiguous slogan of the Austria Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. Inspired by historical wind towers and climate-regulating properties of traditional Arab clay architecture, Architecture firm QUERKRAFT has created a multi-sensorial building composed of 38 intersecting cones of different heights.
The Austria Pavilion is arranged around three green courtyards with a water mist system that contributes to regulating the climate naturally. Unique room sequences with different atmospheres are created inside and outside. With its tactile surfaces made of clay, the canopy of leaves rustling in the wind over the open cones and the omnipresent interplay of light and shadow, the building itself appeals to all senses.
