Japan pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai to start virtual tours

Online visitors can use remote controlled avatars for selected sessions.

A virtual tour of the Japan pavilion at Expo 2020 is set to be rolled out for people across the world who cannot make it to Dubai.

Two websites will be hosted by the organisers to capture the excitement and events that have been planned during the six-month fair that opens next month.

The pavilion's design is inspired by traditional origami shapes and the three-diamensional facade acts as a sunshade to protect visitors inside.

Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said the aim was to allow people to experience first-hand the country’s history and technology, Wam news agency said.

Japan is next in line to host the World Expo, in Osaka in 2025, and the digital tours have been planned to get people interested in the event.

Special sessions will also be held during which people outside of the Emirates can use remotely-controlled avatar robots to participate in functions taking place at the pavilion in Dubai.

“Where ideas meet” is the theme of the pavilion and organisers hope events will spark conversations and ideas that can benefit future generations.

The pavilion in Dubai consists of a hall with a floorplan area of ​​900 m2 and a height of about 23 m. Columns and beams ordinarily articulate architectural space horizontally and vertically, but here the columns spread out unfathomably in all directions. They penetrate walls and ceilings and end outside the building. The placement of the windows and the window reveals in the thin perimeter planes is a pure consequence of the geometrical arrangement of the columns.

Expo 2020 Dubai: Transitioning to the Future?

During the past two years spent photographing Expo 2020 Dubai , I was often asked by friends what exactly it was. To align with its closure on the 31st of March, I would like to address that question from two angles. Most readers will be aware that the expo is part of a tradition dating back to the 19th century - a Showcase for companies and countries , a tourist attraction, a testing ground for technical innovation. But it is also a collection of paradigm studies on opportunity, sustainability, and mobility, as well as a lucrative building project creating a new neighbourhood in the Emirates and a future means of dwelling. Perhaps this last frame of reference is the most interesting for it is what most distinguishes this expo from others.

On the role of the Exposition.  The role of World Expositions changed and evolved at the same pace since the Great Exhibition in 1851 held in London as mankind and along with it, the world. However, individual pavilions of participant nations and artworks exposed continue to be the main attraction of each exhibition. Nations present at a world expo have the opportunity to showcase innovation, inventions, ideas, culture, and even art at an international level. These events facilitate the creation of pavilions and artifacts installed in them, which are state-of-the-art, cutting-edge, innovative, and perfectly represent the participant country. 

Brazilian Pavilion Expo Dubai 2020 / MMBB Arquitetos + Ben-Avid + JPG.ARQ

Abstract.  The pavilion features the waters of Brazil - its rivers and mangroves, the birthplace of the fertility of life, a natural inheritance that underlies all discourse about sustainability on the planet. With its tensile steel structure and lightweight white fabric, the pavilion is a fabric onto which videos are projected, creating an immersive atmosphere of variable images, sounds, aromas, and temperatures, over an area of undulating, shallow water through which the pavilion’s visitors may walk. It is a place of interaction, of an arresting scenic character. It is a stage for the visualization of nature and culture focused both on preservation and on a future made sustainable through technology.
