The Kuwait Pavilion welcomes visitors with a mobile structure inspired by the sails of a traditional boat (the “dhow”) in use in the Arabian Gulf for collecting the pearls; In about 3,000 sqm, the exhibition is splitted into three different sections: at the entrance, visitors are sourronded by 360° projections, and mirrors recreates the landscapes Kuwaitis’ atmosphere; the second part of the pavilion offers a course for adults and children in order to discover the geographic area and its nature with a different approach, until the end of the “journey” in a large space dedicated to the food, and enriched with typical products of the arabian Souks, allowing guests to relax and enjoy the flavors of the traditional cuisine.

The state of Kuwait has interpreted the theme of this Worldwide Expo “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life” about the life that comes from the desert thanks to the desalination of sea-water; remember this sentence until the day you will visit Expo 2015: “Water is the key element for survival.”

“Reflecting the intentions of the Emirate for the Universal Exposition in Milan, and following the concept by Italo Rota, this job represented an important experience, working with the client” – concludes the Architect Giancarlo Clementi, Progetto CMR – “Making possible and tangible this dream has been a challenge that we have accepted with enthusiasm, from the 1st of May everyone will live Expo 2015 as a unique and unforgettable experience”.
