S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Water will be the key element in the design and structure of Brazil\u2019s Pavilion at Expo Dubai 2020, the World Exhibition that will take place in the emirate. The architectural firm that signs the project that will represent Brazil in the event is JPG.ARQ, winner of the National Public Architecture and Exhibit Design Contest \u2013 Brazil\u2019s Pavilion at Expo Dubai 2020. The result was announced last Monday (12), with firms BEN-AVID and MMBB co-authoring the project and also assigned for the construction.<\/p>\n

The contest, organized by the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil<\/a>), had the theme \u201cTogether for Diversity\u201d, with the subtitles Together for Nature, Together for People and Together for Tomorrow\u201d.<\/p>\n

The project presented by the architects places \u201cBrazilian waters with its rivers and mangroves\u201d as symbols of the country. \u201cThe poetic motto is the Rio Negro [Black River], a very important Brazilian river. It\u2019s is black because it\u2019s full of organic matter from the decomposition of the forest. It carries a symbolism that shines a light in a Brazil that is unknown. From the riverside landscapes, the river bank communities. It is not the Brazil of the maritime coast,\u201d said Jos\u00e9 Paulo Gouv\u00eaa, JPG.ARQ\u2019s Project Development Coordinator, in an interview to ANBA.<\/p>\n

‘A ideia \u00e9 que seja [um espa\u00e7o] para brincar com as crian\u00e7as em um dia quente. Tamb\u00e9m \u00e9 um lugar de celebra\u00e7\u00e3o’, destacou o arquiteto.<\/figcaption><\/figure>To display the delicate richness of Brazil, a country known for its reserves of fresh water and aquifers, the pavilion placed, over the black concrete floor, a thin water line that evokes this image of Rio Negro. \u201cIt is a large reflecting sheet of water. Of course, there is the contemplative angle, but the idea is for it to be a space to play with the children in a hot day. It is also a place for celebration,\u201d emphasized the architect.<\/p>\n

The project, says Gouv\u00eaa, wishes to showcase, in the United Arab Emirates, a Brazil that breaks away from the idea of the obscure. \u201cThat is why it has this levity, clarity and has chosen the topic of water as an essential thing,\u201d says the architect. \u201cIt has something that, personally, pleases me, which is the use of water in Dubai. We have chosen the Brazilian waters as the topic, but the Dubai waters is also a rare natural resource that needs to be well cared for,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Inside the pavilion, there will be projections reflected in the fabric of the structure. \u201cThis shows how the design of the exhibition is totally matched with the architecture. As if the architecture and exhibition design had the same support. These are two connected features. And it has an analogy of the structure with the Arab world, which is the fabric. This transparency is a nuanced element. The decision to use the fabric is not a direct one, but you can say that it brings a relation,\u201d concludes Gouv\u00eaa.<\/p>\n
