The company RIKO constructing the Slovenian pavilion at the Expo Dubai 2020. As the selected project holder for the design and construction of the Slovenian pavilion, we are now successfully completing the construction of the 1,550 m2 pavilion.
The pavilion highlights Slovenia as the green heart in the center of
Europe, the intersection of land and sea transport routes and an important
geostrategic country. The pavilion will highlight three elements that best
identify Slovenia: water, as a symbol of life, vitality, flow of materials and
ideas; the floating forest, the nature that is the heart of Slovenia and the soul
of Europe; and a sieve, a large “parasol”, a wooden umbrella, which is a
technological invention with a strong Slovenian identity, characteristic for
Riko’s region of origin.
In its design, the pavilion summarizes Riko’s principles of construction: we
will use elements that are prefabricated, sustainable and degradable - metal,
glass, stone and, of course, mostly wood.
World exhibitions are held every five years and last for six months. An
estimated 190 countries will be represented at the Dubai Exposition,
representing 95% of the world's total population. The organizer is expecting 25
million visitors, of which more than 70% are predicted to be international
visitors.
