OTS - Lumi: The Finnish pavilion for EXPO 2020 Dubai
2018. October 09. 11:46
Zürich, 9 October, 2018 (APA/OTS) - The order for the construction
of the Finnish pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai has been awarded to the
project team of Factor Nova, JKMM Architects, Beyond Limits, Five
Currents and Expomobilia. The pavilion will focus on the themes of
nature, innovation and sustainability.
Finland Pavilion: A tribute to the land of a thousand lakes.
"Lumi" is the name with which Finland is going to present
itself at the World Expo 2020 in Dubai. Lumi is Finnish and means
"snow". Inspired by the white blanket of snow which covers the
Finnish landscape from autumn onwards, the Finland Pavilion
resembles a white tent made of snow. The simple, elegant design
reflects the fascinating tradition of Finnish architecture: From
the outside, the structure is unostentatious, but refined. In the
interior, the dynamic, open, wooden "KURU" room lies at the heart
of the pavilion, offering Expo visitors a pleasantly cool and shady
retreat. Finnish components and materials have played an important
role in the design of the Lumi pavilion. Finland has a unique and
extensive tradition of design architecture. The pavilion may be
viewed as a design object relating the history of this heritage. In
addition, it is a place representing Finland's closeness to nature
and personal exchange, in accordance with the motto of the EXPO
2020 Dubai: "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future".

Dubai is the first world expo in the Arabic-speaking region. The
