Building the Expo

Available exclusively on DomusWeb, the digital catalogue of the exhibition “Building the Expo”, presented in March at the Fiera and created by the Milan Polytechnic with MADE Expo.

Building the Expo

Madera: the soul of wood, nobly expressed

Madera crafts the very essence of wood through the ingenious process of precomposed veneering, resulting in surfaces of captivating visual harmony and inherent sustainability. From flawlessly coordinated color palettes to intricate inlays that whisper stories, each door stands as a genuine tribute to the natural world.

Creating a connection between the MADE Expo trade fair, focused on materials, components and building technologies, and the 2015 Milan Universal Exposition, the exhibition “Building the Expo” presented the schemes of the various pavilions approaching completion, highlighting aspects of construction and the materials specified.
From the collection of drawings, sketches, assembly details, samples, prototypes, videos and site photos emerges a broad and varied overall picture that clearly identifies the nature of this ephemeral architecture.
There are 27 national pavilions (Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, the United Arab Emirates, France, Germany, Japan, Israel, Italy, Malaysia, Moldova, Monaco, The Netherlands, Czech Republic, Russia, Holy See, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Hungary, USA, Vietnam) and 6 unofficial ones presented in the catalogue (Intesa Sanpaolo, Coca-Cola, Caritas, Save The Children, Slow Food and Vanke).
