Czech Spring
Czech National Pavilion at EXPO2020
The proposal refers to the S.A.W.E.R. system, which is the heart and technological core of the pavilion. Its essence, manifesting on many levels, is transformation. It transforms air into water, a dry desert into a blooming garden, and the perception of the Czech Republic by people.
The technology is naturally integrated into the organism of the pavilion, and together with it forms a strong manifestation of a hybrid ecosystem in which nature and technology interact. The intertwining of these two seemingly different worlds creates an unexpected symbiosis.
The object becomes an embodiment of transformation and a metaphor for the technology, which it does not hide in closed spaces but displays openly in the form of a Cloud, connecting all its parts. The trajectories between the individual points of the transformation process are the veins of the pavilion's organism and form the basis of its organic shape. The structure is not just a passive decoration; its individual parts are connected to the S.A.W.E.R. system. Thus, it becomes an active part of the system it represents.
The complex form of the Cloud connects not only the components of the system but also relates conceptually to the theme of EXPO2020 – Connecting Minds, Creating Future. Connectivity is another characteristic of the S.A.W.E.R. system. The number of flows within the system may seem difficult to comprehend at first glance. Thanks to the structure that connects everything, understanding the transformation process becomes easier. Capillaries that form the Cloud in the exterior transition into the interior, where they intertwine with other technological circuits, most of which are left exposed. The emphasis is primarily placed on the components of the cultivation system, which are positioned in direct correlation to the center of gravity of the pavilion. The admission of technology is elevated to its exhibition within the pavilion.
The design of the pavilion, along with the exhibition, is based on content and a story inspired by the metaphorical essence of the S.A.W.E.R. system's operation. The physical principle is transformed into a space that becomes a new medium for communication with the visitor.
