His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, today met with Jean-Yves Le Drian, France’s Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, during his visit to the French pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai.
eikh Mohammed was briefed about the pavilion’s theme ‘France, Lightspeed Inspiration’ (‘France, l’inspiration à la vitesse de la lumière’), which expresses the country’s commitment to building a new economic, social and cultural model around three core values: boldness, optimism and community. The 21-metre-high pavilion is the eighth tallest pavilion at Expo. Its facade and roof are made of 2,500 square metres of solar tiles, producing 60% of the energy it consumes.
Light is the architectural theme for the French Pavilion, which is expressed in various forms throughout the visitor journey, offering a truly unique and unforgettable experience. The pavilion’s design upholds the four key principles of bioclimatic architecture: local integration, construction materials, energy savings and efficiency, and comfort and health.
