German Pavilion
The German Pavilion, CAMPUS GERMANY, is a optimistic place of knowledge, research and human interaction. It was a full of sustainability-themed examples of innovation and ingenuity that inspires, fascinates and thrilled visitors young and old: It was entertaining, surprising, hands-on and digital showcase of German ideas and solutions in the field of sustainability.
As visitors make their way to the German Pavilion, they’ve come across a number of campus-related features: the “enrolment” process, a welcome event and a “curriculum” covering the topics of energy, cities of the future and biodiversity. Mirroring the real-life campus and student experience, the journey ended with an exhilarating ceremony in the Graduation Hall.
German Pavilion Architecture
The Germany Pavilion is a non-traditional structure consisting of several silver cubes stacked like blocks around an open central atrium. A massive shade structure, held up by a grid-like network of hundreds of thin pillars, hangs over the entirety of the main building. The pavilion and its landscaping have the open feeling of a modern university recreation hall area, surrounded by walkways, palm trees, and small gardens.
