Shanghai World Expo Achievements
The UAE Pavilion
Drawing inspiration from the form of a sand dune, the pavilion is a reference to this symbolic feature of the desert landscape shared by each of the seven emirates.
Architecture firm: Foster + PartnersInterior design and fit‐out: VMC ConstructionsSize: 3000 sqmHeight: 20mBuilding structure: Steel
External front view
External lateral view
Like a sand dune, the pavilion appears rough and textured on the side that bears the full force of the wind and smooth on the other side. The northern elevation is more porous to admit natural light, while the southern elevation has a solid façade, to minimize solar gain. A stainless steel skin, treated to appear golden, encloses the jewel‐like shell.
The complex structure is a triangulated lattice of flat stainless steel panels, joined by adjustable nodes, which are designed to enable the pavilion to be demounted on site and constructed quickly and economically. The peak rises to 20 meters in height and it is entered via a glazed lip at the pavilion’s base.
Light penetrates the building’s business centre and VIP area through glazed vertical strips, which illuminate the pavilion from within by night. Internally, the fit out offers an interactive experience, and a dynamic lighting design will reveal the exposed lattice shell of the structure.

The Majliss
The pavilion is one of the largest structures to be built for the 2010 Shanghai Expo and will highlight the UAE’s progressive stance on sustainability.

Recommendation Letter
The Design of the Moroccan pavilion is inspired from the traditional Moroccan houses called the “Riad”.
The rooms of the riad are arranged around the central open‐air courtyard The riads are inward focused which allowed for family privacy and protection from the weather. This inward focus are expressed in the central location of most of the interior gardens and courtyards and the lack of large windows on the exterior walls.

Entrance to these houses is a major transitional experience and encourages reflection because all of the rooms open into the central atrium space. In the central garden of traditional riad is a fountain. The walls of the riads are adorned with zellige tiles
As shown in the photos on the photos, VMC Constructions had to work side by side and adapt to the traditional and complicated Moroccan interiors.
Our attention to details and meticulous work made it a very successful partnership with the Moroccan artisans.
