Belgian comic book character Tintin is always on the move, so it’s only fitting that the country’s showcase honours his colourful legacy. The Belgium Pavilion at Expo 2020 offers a unique comics-inspired tour of the future of mobility, letting you see yourself as a character as you explore smart infrastructure, self-driving vehicles and more. The pavilion’s lush, curved exterior takes the form of a “green arch”, which uses sustainable technologies to produce more energy than it uses. Inside, you’ll dive into a fun comic-strip world of interactive walls and expeditions into the Belgium of 2050. Don’t miss the country’s famous fries!

Greenarch

Sparked by the concept of a “Green Arch”, the Belgium Pavilion takes the form of a vast four-storey rectangular structure draped in lush greenery. A large welcoming arch carved out of the first and second floors allows visitors to cut diagonally through the entire building. Nearly 100 vertical strips of blonde wood line the longest façades of the pavilion, stretching upwards to evoke the ribs of a great ship.
