Dubai Expo 2020 UAE Pavilion has now been revealed to the public following the opening of the expo on 1st October 2021. Designed by world renowned architect Santiago Calatrava the pavilion is inspired by a falcon in flight. The pavilion’s moveable roof structure consists of a hybrid system between a shell and 28 operable wings which open to reveal solar panels.
