The UAE Pavilion explored the very real challenges
that arise in feeding the planet.
Designed by Foster + Partners, the striking form
of the UAE Pavilion was created with a series of
tall, rippled walls that evoked both the narrow, self-
shaded streets of the UAE’s historic settlements
and the magnificent open sand dunes of its deserts.
To light the passageways between the pavilion walls,
Litus 5.0 recessed lighting fixtures were chosen, in
a customized version with a diffuser filter.

Food for Thought: Shaping and Sharing the Future
The main idea behind the Azerbaijan pavilion was
the biosphere, represented by three spheres set
like jewels into the building’s overall design and lit
with Pivot 1.1. projectors with RGB LEDs. It was the
work of the Simmetrico network, in collaboration
with the Arassociati architectural studio, structural
designers at iDeas and landscape architects AG&P.

This was the theme chosen by Angola for its
participation in Expo 2015: “Educate” to raise
awareness in society on the subject of food, and
“Innovate” to encourage good practice in line with
policies of sustainability. The pavilion, designed by
architects António Gameiro and Paula Nascimiento,
used many L&L lighting fixtures both inside and out.
Bright 5.0 recessed uplights with RGB LEDs and 20°
and 40° optics were installed at the foot of the huge,
stylised baobab, around the columns and against
the walls.
