NARRATIVE The Finnish Pavilion at Expo 2020 was designed to reflect the country's unique blend of natural beauty and development in technology. The structure shows Finland's commitment to sustainability and its

deep connection with nature. The pavilion is covered in a white tensioned industrial fabric that was designed to evoke Finnish snow. Additionally, artificial lakes were designed to represent the presence of lakes in Finland. It also serves to cool the interior of the structure. JKMM architects decided to blend in two cultures in the architectural aspect of the pavilion. The snow cape is called a "lumi" which resembles the beginning of winter. Also, the entrance of the pavilion was inspired by a traditional Arabic tent. The pavilion's façade is made of soft and light façade fabric that creates a strong contrast to the hard granite floor tiles. The façade is supported by a light-steel frame to be able to hold the snow-like cape. Vital Statistics: • Firm: JKMM Architects . Main Contractor: Cimolai Rimond Area: 1867 m² Assignment 53. Case Study Expo The Architects designed the structure into five different elements which resemble the natural resources of the country. The Firm focused on all types of loads including wind, seismic, and dead loads. Since the structure focuses on sustainability, the design of the pared down shell in the interior minimized additional claddings, enabling the firm to reduce the overall use of materials. 85% of the materials will be reused when the structure is dismantled five years after the expo's end date.
