The Expo 2020 Dubai organisers are celebrating the World Architecture Day today (October 7) in style by releasing a selection of new images from the expo project site.
Created in 2005 by the Union International des Architects (UIA), Architecture Day is a day to show appreciation for the work architects do and to celebrate some of the great global architectural works.
As part of the celebrations, the organisers have brought together the cream of world architectural talent in the field in one place, thus continuing a proud lineage of architectural wonders at World Expos throughout the ages.
The spellbinding sights will include a number of structures designed by ‘starchitects’ – the superstars of the architecture world – as well as a glittering array of emerging architectural talent from around the world.
From the flagship Al Wasl Plaza and Thematic Pavilions, to the 192 country pavilions across the site, there will be architecture for every taste and interest at Expo 2020, said the organisers.
What’s more, throughout the 173-day event, architecture buffs and novices alike will be able to learn more about the building-shaped brilliance on display with a series of Architectural Journeys, they stated.
These designer tours of Expo 2020’s architectural marvels will span a variety of self-guided, guided and exclusive tours around the 4.38-sq-km site, using the latest technology to enrich the experiences, they added.
The upcoming Expo 2020 Dubai will bring together millions of people who will celebrate human brilliance and achievement under the theme ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future’.
An entertaining global celebration with something for everyone, Expo 2020 will wow visitors with 60 daily events across 173 days, showcasing the best of music, technology, creativity and culture, while 200 F&B (food and beverage) outlets will feature famous chefs and cuisine from every corner of the world.
Expo 2020 will be an endless journey of discovery. Visitors will have access to the latest innovations and breakthroughs, with more than 200 participants – including 192 nations, multilateral organisations, businesses and educational institutions – coming together to highlight real-life solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges, said the organisers.
Expo 2020’s sub-themes of Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability will inspire visitors to make a conscious effort to think and live differently, and give them renewed optimism that, through collaboration, it is possible to make a lasting change to the world, they added.-TradeArabia News Service
