OMAN PAVILION
Restricted
Competition, Milano EXPO, 2015
The
Sultanate of Oman signed the participation contract of Expo Milano 2015, the
next Universal Exposition, to be held in Milan, Italy, from May 1st to October
31st 2015, and which will focus on the theme “Feeding the planet, energy for
life”.
For this purpose, Oman has reserved a space of 2,790 m2 and its pavilion
will be built in a strategic position within the exhibition site, in front of
one of the main entrances of the Expo venue. Now, the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Sultanate of Oman invited specialized companies for competition
to bid for the project of Designing, Constructing, Furnishing, Outfitting,
Demolishing, Removing and Disposing the Materials of Sultanate of Oman Pavilion
at Expo Milano 2015. The joint venture of companies and designers has been
purposely assembled for tendering for the Oman Pavilion at Expo Milan 2015,
with the aim of creating a unique offer in terms of skills, know how, knowledge
and creativity. The lot dedicated to the Omani Pavilion is located in proximity
to the secondary entrance which is easily reachable from the parking lot
located on the east side of the Expo. The Omani Pavilion’s location has many
advantageous aspects: the lot has the good fortune not to have neighbors lots
on both sides and is adjoining with a green area with trees.
