EXPO 2030 Riyadh - Signature Pavilions

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Project Description

The project encompasses the design and development of the Iconic Central Pavilion and the KSA & Royal Pavilion within the EXPO 2030 Riyadh site. These landmark pavilions are conceived as signature destinations, characterized by predominant water features that are seamlessly integrated into the architectural and landscape design to create a strong sense of place and visitor experience.

The pavilions accommodate world-class exhibition halls, immersive public spaces, and a curated mix of food and beverage and retail offerings, supported by fully integrated back-of-house (BOH) facilities for efficient operations. Together, they form focal points of the Expo masterplan, combining cultural expression, visitor engagement, and high-performance building systems within a distinctive and memorable environment.
