METAFORM ARCHITECTS

THE JOURNEY OF SENSES

LUXEMBOURG PAVILION AT WORLD EXPO - DUBAI
The main inspiration for the pavilion design comes from Metaform Architects ’ desire to convey a true reflection of Luxembourg ’ s past , present , and future , while also presenting the values of the country : small but ambitious , intriguing yet reassuring , and above all generous and open . What better inspiration than a Möbius strip , a loop , a single surface twisted with neither beginning nor end , symbolizing infinity and , most of all , the circular economy and diversity united as one .
One of the biggest challenges was to find a good flow for visitors to pass through quickly . A setback was thus created between the main walking street and the pavilion : the space and distance offer a clear perception of the whole .
