Flexbrick has created this innovative system that consists of a stainless steel mesh mixed with terracotta tiles, using biogas in the production process in order to avoid Co2 emissions to the atmosphere and contributing in this way to the sustainability, one of the main themes of the Expo 2020 Dubai.

This project is designed by the Kuwaiti-Spanish architectural firm AGi architects.

A ceramic layer covers the ground and facades of the pavilion, making it seem as though the structure is wrapped with a terracotta carpet. The design helps emphasize on the pavilion’s public spaces and how humans circulate and interact within it.

In this case the materials were glazed ceramics on all their faces in reddish tones with a slight inclination of the mesh to provide the building with a unique and unrepeatable effect of depth and uniqueness. In addition, the choice of this construction system gives great added value to the facilities since it not only acts as a double exterior skin, but also works as a sunscreen from the inside.

The adaptation to the surroundings and the creation of a sunlight permeable space were two requirements to build this project. Flexbrick provides a unique solution for the façade, the pergola and the roof that surrounds the building with a continuous glazed-tiles fabric in green tones, in line with the environment.
