I could see dry and arid land… There was sun rise and dews on the flowers and light was shining on the petals. “As an architect I had a vision when I thought about the theme mobility and ‘Smart Korea Moving the world to you.’ Korean architect Moon Hoon was given a brief to come up with a design that represents mobility and the technological advancement of Korea when he entered the competition in 2018 for Korea’s Expo pavilion. The pavilion is nearing completion,” said Gouvêa. “It was not easy especially considering the constant travel and online interactions with engineers and other members of the team. He said photographers were hired to take scores of pictures of Brazilian forests, rivers, cities, food and cultural aspects which have been put together by a producer and art director using a technology called video imaging to create stunning stories. Using 140 giant projectors, images from Brazil will be projected on the translucent membranes that makes the interior of the pavilion. To give visitors an immersive experience and give them a true Brazilian experience, he decided to fill the pavilion with a shallow water blade, where people can wet their feet and relax. We are using ideas to bring the Brazilian nature to Dubai.” “The idea is that we are not just creating a structure using materials. He said it was decided from the beginning that they will bring ‘even a screw’ from Brazil to build the pavilion. In fact, I have done my PhD research on Brazil’s 1970 Osaka Expo pavilion built by my master, Paulo Mendes da Rocha, who passed away a few weeks ago.” The pavilion, regarded as a masterpiece by Rocha explores the relationship between nature and architecture. Gouvêa said he understands building an Expo pavilion is ‘special.’ A thin water blade, representing the Brazilian rivers and where visitors can walk, will occupy most of the space, providing an experience that will be complemented by projections, sounds and aromas. Located at the Sustainability district, the 4000 sqm Brazilian pavilion will have water as the main element. Our main challenge was how to build a pavilion using natural elements… How to transform steel, glass, concrete, fibre, tensile into something natural was the most difficult part,” Gouvêa told Khaleej Times. “Brazilian rivers are one of the most important water resources of the world.
