According to Ghotmeh, the 10,700-square-foot structure is a testament to “sustainable innovation.” The pavilion is naturally cooled by the sea breeze, while staff and volunteers attending to the pavilion during the event wore uniforms inspired by coastal motifs designed by Bahraini fashion designer Lulwa Al Ameen.

Internally, the pavilion is arranged across four levels. Among the spaces are galleries to host artist commissions, a café, and spaces for activities that respond to the expo’s umbrella theme, ‘Designing Future Society for Our Lives.’
