BAHRAIN
Focusing on density as an enabler of opportunities
Following its award-winning pavilion at the 2015 Expo Milan, the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities the Kingdom of Bahrain is also participating in Expo 2020 Dubai, the first World Expo take place in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia region. Expo 2020 Dubai is the perfect opportunity to highlight the successes and developments in the Arab world, with Bahrain playing an important role towards these achievements. The overarching theme of Expo 2020 Dubai is “Connyecting Minds, Creating the Future”, which will be explored through three sub-themes of Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability.
The Kingdom of Bahrain Pavilion will focus on the theme of “Density” as an enabler of opportunities, an intricate exploration of the dense natural and urban compositions of Bahrain. Bahrain’s relatively small geography has defined its development throughout the ages and the pavilion will showcase the way in which scarcity of land has naturally led to density in its development. This specific regional attribute of density has obliged the Islands to constantly reinvent themselves on the limited land available, and by doing so garnered a mentality of trade, entrepreneurship and innovation, that represents one of the country’s biggest strengths and distinctiveness.

OMAN PAVILION
An enchanting experience inspired by frankincense
The Oman Pavilion in Expo 2020 titled ‘Generations of Opportunity’ is based on storytelling of Luban and its life cycle. Each part of the life cycle allows us to explore opportunity through the themes of growth, harvest, trade and use. Oman Pavilion Expo 2020 draws inspiration from local Omani nature that represents opportunity, with the main source of inspiration being the Luban Tree. That references the long trade history linked to the Luban tree and frankincense that spanned centuries, and the opportunity it represents to this day as a unique natural element and local product. The structure is made up of ground floor, first and second floors, with a BUA of about 2,200 sqm. The form is inspired from the Luban tree itself. The low shade-giving branches of the tree are recalled in the organic asymmetrical flowing form of the building. The structure is also characterized with the fact that it can be dismantled to be transported back to the Sultanate.
