Abstract
The organization of EXPO 2015 in the city of Milan has prompted massive organizational efforts to set up a new fair district in one of the largest Italian cities . The urban layout of the metropolitan city has been redesigned in a part thereof to connect the exhibition grounds to the network of infrastructures of Milan city . The urban design of the headquarters of the world expo will accommodate all participating nations event in two different ways . One of these allows you to self build a pavilion on the areas provided by EXPO 2015 . In particular , as part of the tools that regulate participation in the Event , the Special Regulations envisage the acceptance of a series of environmental commitments , including the adoption of measures for the prevention of pollution and proper management of any environmental impacts associated with the construction and setting up of the pavilions and exhibition structures . The provisions contained in the Special Regulations are accompanied by a series of environmental criteria added by Expo 2015 such as the Guidelines for the construction and dismantling of self-built pavilions for the Official Participants . Expo 2015 has also drawn up two Specific guidelines aimed at stimulating and promoting the active involvement of Participants in achieving the objective of Sustainability of the Exposition : the Guidelines Green Procurement and Guidelines Sustainable Solutions . The guidelines for the adoption of sustainable solutions in the design , construction , dismantling and reuse of structures to be built for the event were a mandatory and necessary manual for all the designers of the pavilions for different countries . Through this paper you can see how the concepts of sustainability and recyclability have been interpreted in the language of forty designers from different countries , all animated , at the same time , for the challenge of representing their countries through their state of the art of architecture technology , of their national culture .
