The Moroccan Pavilion at Expo Milano 2015 focuses on the concept of rurality and diversity and richness of its territories.
Stretching the entire length of the site from north to south, the pavilion takes the visitor on a metaphorical journey across the country from the Mediterranean to the Sahara, highlighting the agriculture and traditions specific to each region.
Referring to the materiality and sensuality of rural buildings in Morocco, the Pavilion of Morocco presents a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional structures on earth.
The brick is placed inside huge prefabricated wooden panels, which are then mounted on a steel frame. This method is suitable for the use of traditional materials with industrialized construction methods. At the end of Expo Milano, the panels will be disassembled and reused.
