The theme

Expo 2008 was dedicated to water and sustainable development.

The idea

The pavilion interpreted Greece’s relationship with landscape, climate and natural resources through architecture. A clear, contemporary structure housed a fluid interior sequence, where space, light and movement shaped the visit. Architecture and exhibition worked as one system, so content and multimedia unfolded along a single spatial journey rather than as separate displays.
