Each of the colours chosen for the Expo 2020 Dubai UK Pavilion comes from the flag of an exhibiting nation, expressing unity, partnership and possibility.

A sculptural centrepiece envelops visitors in colour and light, giving the sense of an ‘impossible’ structure.

“We were drawn to the idea of looking outwards for inspiration. This informed the entire architecture of the pavilion, which we designed as a sculptural watercolour that plays with the natural environment to connect with people.” – Paul Cocksedge.

The structure, designed in partnership with IDOM and Arup, was a finalist in the Expo 2020 Dubai UK Pavilion competition.
