Obstacles, Challenges and Responses

Propelling through the history of international fairs and expositions, their expressing identities and encouraging the people of all nations for a magnificent global gathering , Expo Milano 2015 unveils a new and unique vision to face the challenge of a pavilion creation.

Imagining the expo site as a puzzle of a comprehensive farmland of ideas, we reveal the Persian Garden as Iran’s pavilion for Expo Milano 2015, an idea which should comprise an upbeat attitude and play an effectual role to achieve the global perspective of “Feeding the planet, Energy for life”.

The designers’ vision towards the Persian Garden is inspired by its self-sufficient and compatible identity. Therefore, the main concept of the project is an abstract deduction of a natural tree organism which is simply sustainable in its essence .The tree offers a pleasant space on its shadow, carries natural ventilation and becomes a rain shelter in the rainy days of Milan.

We seek to propose an entity which not only responds the Expo 2015 theme and Iran’s general approach but also emerges gloriously and clearly narrates its story in an eloquent way. Iran’s pavilion should be an alluring depiction of its long-time civilization, art, historical characteristics and cultural events with having close connection with agronomics, food and technology.
