Project work for "Creative young programme", by Expo 2020 Dubai and University of San Marino

Competition for the realization of the San Marino state pavilion for "EXPO 2020 DUBAI: Connecting minds, creating the future".

​

A peculiar feature of San Marino is the meteorological phenomenon for which the clouds fall below the level of the mountains, and it seems that the fortress floats above the mist: a strong metaphor for a nation that wants to enter the future through projects of energy independence.

​

The visit begins inside a room that, through a 360 projection, will bring the audience above the clouds through the point of view of a shooting of a drone.

​

The second part is an immersive room in which the sky of San Marino is projected in timelapse. The luminous bodies present are inflatable clouds that react with the surrounding environment, changing color, but also with the public, increasing their brightness in passing. The floor is covered with energy-efficient tiles, making the entire pavilion self-powered by visitors inside.
