Expo 2020, Dubai

ALIF – The mobility Pavillion

Under construction: Airy experience. For Expo 2020 in Dubai, three pavilions have been built to ad- dress the big issues to shape better the future: sustainability, opportunity and mobility.

»Alif – the Mobility Pavilion«, designed by Foster + Partners, will showcase the latest mobility concepts on more than 12,000 sqm of total space and 4,000 sqm of exhibition area, explain- ing how information, ideas and goods can be exchanged fast- er than ever.

In keeping with the theme, Delta Lighting Design developed a lighting concept that underlines the outer form of the pavilion and creates a permanent liveliness in the evening by reflecting the light on the stainless steel cladding. In addition, the lighting design functions as a signpost that guides visitors in a kind of circular route around the building.

A total of 870 LED LightLines LLF40.30, each 620 mm long, were laid in the floor around the pavilion. The light lines can be walked on and rolled over –an essential factor for a public square with busy public traffic.
