Wooden Building: Canada Pavilion

The Canada Pavilion, Expo 2020 Dubai, is wrapped in a wooden geometric lattice façade, inspired by the traditional Middle Eastern Mashrabiya. The design references the landscape of Canada, the wooden exterior is constructed with Canadian wood, Douglas Fir, and the use of recyclable materials and solar power continues the theme of sustainability. The circular shape of the pavilion was chosen as a universal symbol of unity and inclusivity.
