2020 Dubai Expo, Al Wasl Plaza.

30/09/2021

The heart of Expo 2020.

We are proud to share that we supported the development of the 2020 Dubai Expo’s thematics districts and its incredible centre-piece, Al Wasl Plaza.

The development of Al Wasl Plaza came with a number of exciting engineering challenges, ensuring a conformable environment for visitors.

The plaza connects the three thematic districts; Opportunity, Sustainability and Mobility. Inspired by the shape of the Expo 2020 logo, the domed trellis’ act as a 360-degree projection surface, providing a stunning visual centre that looks spectacular both inside and out.

Now complete, the spaces will continue to inspire and provide value to people long after the event has officially closed.
