Drawing on cutting-edge eco-technology, the Czech Republic Pavilion at Expo 2020 conjures a blooming garden in the Dubai desert literally from thin air. Powered by solar energy and Czech ingenuity, the pavilion’s sustainable vapour harvesting system pulls water from the air to create a beautiful oasis.

You’ll see the artful evidence of this system throughout the pavilion in the form of sweeping, swirling pipes, which not only channel the water but combine into fanciful “clouds” that offer shade. As you follow their flow, you’ll be treated to displays of Czech glassmaking, exhibits exploring desert cultivation and authentic regional cuisine.

A model of form meeting function, the pavilion uses a swirl of hundreds of pipes to create the impression of a cloud rising from a lush desert oasis. These “bioplastic” pipes, which climb in great curls from a garden of palms and shrubbery, are part of an innovative system that uses solar energy to capture water from desert air.

The twisty design of the Luxembourg Pavilion is based on the Möbius strip, a unique one-sided surface with no beginning or end – just like the “circular economy” idea demonstrated inside. Known as a global banking hub, Luxembourg shows that it’s also a leader in sustainability and innovation.
The pavilion experience takes the form of a “walking movie”, with exhibits ranging from Luxembourg’s cultural diversity to its prominence in fields such as satellites and space mining. And just like a great film, the best part is at the end: a 21-metre-tall slide you can coast down into a green, woody space that evokes the country’s beautiful forests.

Inspired by the bendy Möbius strip - a unique one-sided surface with no beginning or end the Luxembourg Pavilion takes the form of an immense white ribbon that twists around on itself. On the pavilion’s right side, an elegant swoop forms a curving roof for the exhibition’s lower level, which features large windows and a decorative motif of vertical stripes.
