France Pavilion Expo 2020

The French pavilion for Dubai Expo 2020 looks like a monumental canopy composed of a 20 m high by 55 m long illuminated wall which is fixed to the ground creating a volume dedicated to the public and raises to the sky to welcome the professionals. This void creates, over the guided pathway, a 1400 m2 volume entirely protected from the sun, whose canopy lifts to an altitude of 15m and creates a sky of 1500 m2.

At the entrance are green spaces: 1, 2, 3, 3, 4 squares, French-style gardens, organized for children’s games and to allow the tour of temporary exhibitions
