Austria, applied their interdisciplinary research to obtain a novel design, where architecture, nature, culture and research merge into a unique sensual visitors’ experience.
Where oxygen is an essential part of life and food, AIR is at the center of the theme ‘Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life’ for the team at the drawing board of the Austrian Pavilion.
Not only a direct reference to the excellent quality of the air in Austria, but air as a source of food and essential producer of energy and resources.
To highlight, this basic but fundamental issue, for Expo 2015 team.breath. Austria have chosen use the 560 square meter site to plant an Austrian forest on the former industrial plot in the north west of Milan.
