Design for Dismantling and Reuse of an Exhibition Pavilion, Germany

From June to October 2000, Expo 2000 in Hanover, Germany, explored the theme of man, nature and technology. Spain participated in this last universal exhibition of the millennium with the intention of surprising the visitor. The need for the structure of the Spanish pavilion for the Expo 2000 to be dismountable was the dominant condition for its conceptual design. Very careful planning was required, bearing in mind the complex interactions between the geometry, functionality, structural concept and construction materials used with extensive application of prefabrication techniques.
