1.1 DEFINITION 1.1.1 Pavilion has several meanings. In architectural terminology, it refers to a subsidiary building that is either positioned separately or as an attachment to a main building. Often its function makes it an object of pleasure. In another more specific meaning applied to large palaces, it refers to symmetrically placed subsidiary building blocks that appear to be attached to each end of a main building block or to the outer ends of wings that extend from both sides of a central building block – the corps de logis. Such configurations provide an emphatic visual termination to the composition of a large building, akin to bookends. 1.1.2 Expo 2020 is a universal scale registered exposition time slot sanctioned by the bureau of international expositions (BIE), Paris on 27 November 2013. Dubai in the United Arab Emirates won the right to hold Expo 2020. Dubai’s Expo will be a festival of human ingenuity. The engines of growth are no longer steam-powered. Instead, collaboration and partnership have taken its place, becoming the driving force behind new developments. Expo will showcase and explore what is possible when new ideas and people connect. The main site of Expo Dubai 2020 will be a 438-hectare area (1083 acres) located midway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The master plan, designed by the American firm HOK, is organized around a central plaza, entitled Al Wasl.

1.2 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Fig.5 : Old tent.
Fig.6 : development of the pavilions.
1.2.1 Pavilion ( pavilion was basically developed from tent like structure). As buildings of wood, stone, and marble increased in grandeur and scale, Tent is incorporate all the principle elements of any small house: partitions, supporting pillars, a roof, flooring and an entrance; however, tents are mobile shelters and represent the “portable home�. 1.2.2 World Expos have long been important in advancing architectural innovation and discourse. But what is it about Expos that seem to create such lasting architectural landmarks, and is this still the case today? Throughout history, each new Expo offered architects an opportunity to present radical ideas and use these events as a creative laboratory for testing bold innovations in design and building technology.

2.1 AL ZORAH PAVILION 2.1.1 General Information Architect Annabel Karim Kassar Location Ajman - United Arab Emirates Project Architect Rabih Zeidan Area 4500.0 sqm Project Year 2014
Fig. 8 : Black granite paving tiles are used all around the perimeter and external stairs, their triangular patterning creating a resonance with the roof tiles.
2.1.2 Site Analysis Located along Ajman’s beachfront and creeks, Al zorah build on the emirate’s natural beauty, tradition, openness and culture of innovation to transform Ajman into a world class residential, tourism and investment destination. The pavilion is designed with a very sensitive approach to the site, in symbiosis with the landscape. It is conceived as a simple geometric form standing in the desert as a landscape within another. It rests under a canopy, a folded roof reminiscent of the existing topographical strata leading down to the water.
Fig. 9 : Site plan shows the accessibility of main entrance for the building and car access with parkings.

Fig. 10 : the surrounding of the building is overlooking natural mangrove swamps and flamingos, the Al Zorah pavilion provides a multifunctional visitor and events space.
2.1.3 Design Concept
Fig. 11 : Isometric sketch shows the concept idea.
The concept it is designed to give a more sophisticated identity to Ajman - one that differentiates it from its bigger, brasher, richer neighbors Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The pavilion embraces only the marshy landscape ahead. Its cranked roofline starts at the south-facing base and marches up and over the building, like a scaly, cupped hand. Its back is thus turned towards the road, blocking out the harshest rays of the sun, and giving occupants panoramic views over these modest mangrove swamps.
Fig. 12 : Building is sheltered under a magnificent canopy illuminated and decorated as an ornamental tent.

2.1.6 Construction A horizontal deck of limestone and glass retail units forms the ground floor, with 10 cinemas inside. The upper part is composed of golden metal ribbons wrapping the four big cinema/ theatres from north to south. These generate a dynamic sculptural (fig. 13) form that gives the entertainment Center a strong identity. Framed within the outer 'ribbons' are porous backlit facades to evoke the Mousharabieh of traditional Moorish screens.
Fig. 13 : Construction will be restricted to 235 million square feet with the remaining expanse reserved for beaches.
2.1.7 Material The quality of finishing and attention to detail are woven throughout the project. It is evident in the black granite (fig. 14) paving tiles used all around the perimeter and on the exterior staircase - sandblasted to a subtle 'velvet' finish rather than the supersleek gloss of every Dubai shopping mall or hotel lobby. Their triangular patterning creates a rich visual resonance with the roof tiles.
Fig. 14 : Black granite paving tiles are used all around the perimeter and external stairs.
2.1.8 Technology The same geometry is replicated elsewhere in the building - right down to the choice and placement of ceiling lights and even the exterior lights (fig. 15) that throw slim beams across the roof at night in a 'tartan' criss-cross effect.
Fig. 15 : The building will be lit up with LED tricolored projectors by night; it is an installation by CAI light.

Fig. 18 : Stretching the entire length of its site from north to south, the pavilion leads the visitor on a metaphorical journey through the country from the mediterranean to the sahara, highlighting the agriculture and traditions specific to each region.
2.2.3 Design Concept The pavilion is built entirely of mud. These ancestral building methods in Morocco refer to the rural civilization. These methods have to be maintained to support an exterior of such a project in different climate conditions.

2.2.6 Construction Referring to the materiality and sensuality of rural construction in morocco, the pavilion of morocco presents a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional earthen structures. Adobe is placed within enormous pre-fabricated wooden panels which are then mounted onto a steel frame. This method adapts the use of traditional materials to industrialized construction methods. At the end of expo milan, the panels will be dismantled and re-used. Fig. 20 : Structure of the building.
2.2.7 Material Mud construction system is less energy intensive and very effective in different climatic conditions. Mud is one of man's oldest building materials and most ancient Civilizations used it in some form. It was easily available, cheap, and strong and required only simple technology.

CHINA PAVILION EXISTING IN MILAN - ITALY

2.3 China Pavilion Milan Expo 2015 2.3.1 General Information Architects Studio Link-Arc Location Milano, Italy Chief Architect Yichen Lu Project Manager Kenneth Namkung Project Year 2015
Fig. 25 : over 1,000 bamboo panels clad the roof of China's Milan Expo pavilion, which features an elaborate structure that merges the profile of the Beijing skyline with a mountain landscape.
2.3.2 Site Analysis Located on the EXPO’s main street Decumano, the chinese pavilion is a 9,260 square meter building. The structure virtually repeats the given plot of land with an elongated and rather narrow parallelepiped configuration, thrusting forward a dynamic cantilever over the main entrance to the pavilion.
Fig. 26 : Streets arround the building.
1. http://www.archdaily.com/627497/china-pavilion-milan-expo-2015-tsinghua-university 2. http://www.dezeen.com/2015/05/05/beijing-skyline-mountain-range-roof-china-milan 30
Fig. 27 : The building's predominant feature is its complex roof form. From the front it appears to be a series of curves, while at the back it forms a row of rectilinear shapes.
2.3.3 Design Concept
Fig. 28 : Diagram of a city skyline in the top and landscape in the bottom.
The theme for the China Pavilion is “The Land of Hope”. The project embodies this through its undulating roof form, derived by merging the profile of a city skyline on the building’s north side with the profile of a landscape on the south side, expressing the idea that “hope” can be realized when city and nature exist in harmony. Rejecting the typical notion of a cultural pavilion as an object in a plaza, the China Pavilion is instead conceived as a field of spaces. Envisioned as a cloud hovering over a “land of hope”, the Pavilion is experienced as a series of public programs located beneath a floating roof, the unique design of which creates an iconic image for the project and a unique presence within the Expo grounds.

2.3.6 Construction Referencing raised-beam structures found in traditional Chinese architecture, the roof framework comprises a series of gluelaminated timber profiles that are each slightly different, as they incrementally morph between the two shapes. Fig. 29 : Construction site for the world exhibition Expo 2015, the china pavilion.
2.3.7 Material After testing different materials, architect said: "We started with glass and then we wanted to have translucency instead of transparency, so we changed it to polycarbonate panels. But then, because it was a very fast construction – just seven months – we decided to change for a membrane that was more watertight". Fig. 30 : Over 1,000 bamboo panels clad the roof of China's Milan Expo pavilion.
2.3.8 Technology The pavilion roof also uses modern technology to create long spans appropriate to the building’s public nature. The roof is covered in shingled panels that reference traditional pottery roof construction, but are reinterpreted as large bamboo leaves that enhance the roof profile while shading the public spaces below. Fig. 31 : Adapt the roof with modern construction technology.

2.4 August Wilson Center for African American Culture 2.4.1 General Information Architects Perkins+Will Location Pittsburgh, PA, United States Civil Engineer ATS Chester Engineers Lighting Studio i Project Area 64.500 sqm Project Year 2009
Fig. 33 : In 2009 a gleaming performing arts space opened to great fanfare in downtown Pittsburgh.
2.4.2 Site Analysis Strategically composed on a tight triangular site, the building exploits the moment where two city grids converge and the cultural, convention and downtown districts overlap, forming a gateway intersection.
Fig. 34 : Location of the site.
1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Wilson_Center_for_African_American_Culture 2. http://www.turnerconstruction.com/august-wilson-center-for-african-american-culture 38
Fig. 35 : To acknowledge the significance of the street as common space and as a stage for urban life, the sidewalk slides into the building, connecting the street level uses.
2.4.3 Design Concept
Fig. 36 : Sketch of a dhow that transported Swahili culture from East Africa.
The center celebrates the corner with a robust curvilinear form inspired by the full sails of the dhow, the majestic sailing ships that transported Swahili culture from East Africa. In a context of heavier, more opaque buildings, the curve breaks the norm and anchors the corner as urban art. This energetic, urban in-fill building is a transformative first-voice cultural center that celebrates the contributions of African Americans to American culture, art, music, and theatre in the region and globally— past, present and future. Designed by Perkins+Will, the two-story, 64,500 sqm facility includes a 486-seat proscenium theater, 11,000 sqm of exhibit galleries, a flexible studio, a music cafÊ, and an education center.

2.4.6 Construction The greatest challenge was to accommodate such a complex program on the site. The center can accept Smithsonian exhibits, has a theatre venue that can fly full scenes, and transforms its daytime café into a speakeasy music café at night. Despite the progress, the project run into obstacles that delayed construction and spiraled costs out of control. It broke ground on Oct. 18, 2006, but construction didn't begin until August 2007.

2.4.7 Material At both levels flexible uses are organized behind the north-facing glassy façade that extends 328 linear feet along one of the major downtown thoroughfares. With optimum solar orientation, this transparency invites the surrounding historic context into enrich the interior experience and engage the place in the city.

DUBAI
4.1 Introduction To Dubai 4.1.1 Locations of the Site
Fig. 41 : Map of Dubai.
First Site Dubai is the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is located on the southeast coast of the Arabian Gulf and is the capital of the Emirate of Dubai, one of the seven emirates that make up the country. Abu Dhabi and Dubai are the only two emirates to have veto power over critical matters of national importance in the country's legislature. The city of Dubai is located on the emirate's northern coastline and heads up the Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman metropolitan area. Dubai is to host World Expo 2020. 4.1.2 Climate
Fig. 42 : Dubai Weather.
Dubai has a tropical desert climate, köppen classification Bwh, because of its location within the Northern desert belt. Summers are extremely hot and humid, with an average high around 41 °C (106 °F) and overnight lows around 30 °C (86 °F). The highest recorded temperature in Dubai is 52.1 °C (126 °F) in 2002. 4.1.3 Population
Fig. 43 : Population of Dubai by Millions.
1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai
The active daytime population comprises residents plus persons working in Dubai but living outside the city, tourists, sailors and other temporary residents. Many Dubai workers choose to live in the neighbouring Emirate of Sharjah where rents are significantly cheaper.

KHARTOUM
4.2 Introduction To Khartoum 4.2.1 Locations of the Site
Fig. 44 : Map of Khartoum.
Second Site Khartoum is the capital and second largest city of Sudan and Khartoum state. It is located at the confluence of the White Nile, flowing north from Lake Victoria, and the Blue Nile, flowing west from Ethiopia. The location where the two Niles meet is known as "al-Mogran" , meaning the confluence. The main Nile continues to flow north towards Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea. 4.2.2 Climate
Fig. 45 : Khartoum Weather.
Khartoum features a hot desert climate (Kรถppen climate classification BWhw) with a dry season occurring during winter, typical of the Saharo-Sahelian zone which marks the progressive passage between the Sahara Desert, vast arid areas and the Sahel, vast semi-arid areas. The climate is extremely arid for most of the year with about nine months where average rainfall is lower than 5 mm (0.20 in). 4.2.3 Population
Fig. 46 : Population of khartoum by millions.
1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khartoum
The 2008 population census estimates the population of Khartoum state to be about 21 M, composed of various tribes of the Sudan. The population is 79% urban, and 74% of the state's population reported their region of origin to be outside Khartoum.

4.3.3 Site Alternative 03: Al-Mogran Area. The Al-Mogran development project is an over 4 billion dollar development project undertaken by the Alsunut development company that seeks to develop several thousand acres in downtown Khartoum along the spot where the White Nile and Blue Nile merge to form the Nile. The discovery of oil in Sudan has provided the Sudanese government with a billion dollar surplus that allows the funding of this project. Starting in 2004, the project has two main phases: phase one, the central business district development phase two, the residential estate portion. The AlMogran project, when completed, will produce 11,000,000 square feet (1,000,000 m²) of office space, 1,100 villas, housing for 45,000 residents and visitors, and jobs for 60,000 Sudanese.

4.3.4 Site Alternative 04: Nile Coast. The white Nile flows north to Khartoum and meets the blue nile. The course of the Nile in Sudan is distinctive. It flows over six groups of cataracts, from the first at Aswan to the sixth at Sabaloka (just north of khartoum) and then turns to flow southward before again returning to flow north. One name for this is the "great bend". In the north of Sudan the river enters lake Nasser (known in sudan as lake nubia), the larger part of which is in Egypt. By the eighth millennium bc, people of a Neolithic culture had settled into a sedentary way of life there in fortified mudbrick villages, where they supplemented hunting and fishing on the nile with grain gathering and cattle herding.

5.1 Conclusion • Pavilion has several meanings. In architectural terminology, it refers to a subsidiary building that is either positioned separately or as an attachment to a main building. Often its function makes it an object of pleasure. • The inherently experimental qualities of pavilion architecture did much to promote the tenets of modern architecture. • Prefabrication, factory subassembly industrial standardization machine precision tolerances, field assembly work, and all the related technologies were brought to bear. • Like the exhibits, they contained, pavilions continued to attract interest by demonstration of amazing new technologies. • Pavilions, in the following case studies, are vary in size, and materials. Al Zorah pavilion in Ajman is a landmark, it is the first project to be implemented on site, as part of the city's redevelopment. The structure is a 4500 Msq multifunctional center dedicated to Administration, culture and entertainment overlooking the mangrove of Ajman. Fig. 57 : Al Zorah.
Referring to the materiality and sensuality of rural construction in Morocco, the Pavilion of Morocco presents a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional earthen structures. Adobe is placed within enormous pre-fabricated wooden panels which are then mounted onto a steel frame. Fig. 58 : Morocco Pavil.
Rejecting the typical notion of a cultural pavilion as an object in a plaza, the China pavilion is instead conceived as a field of spaces. The unique design of which creates an iconic image for the project and a unique presence within the Expo grounds. Fig. 59 : China Pavil.
August Wilson Center for African American Culture is a U.S. nonprofit arts organization based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that presents performing and visual arts programs that celebrate the contributions of African Americans in Western Pennsylvania. Fig. 60 : AWCAAC.

5.2 Design Concept First Proposal: The Nubian Vault (NV) technique is an age-old method of timber less vault construction, originating in upper Egypt and Sudan. It uses only earth bricks and earth mortar. Nubian Vaults built over 3,300 years ago, at the Ramesseum Mortuary Temple, Luxor are still standing. AVN has simplified and standardized the NV technique, adapting it to the climatic conditions and traditional know-how of the Sahel region, making it easy to learn onthe job.

Second Proposal: The houses in East Africa are built with materials that make them cool in hot climates and warm in the cold rainy seasons. The materials used range from mud, brick, dung, grass and stone depending on the area. The homes would be huddled together in a homestead in a village based on the African communal nature. The proximity identifies the relatedness of the people, and also traditional acted as a form of protection against outsiders.

Third Proposal: Pyramid, in architecture, a monumental structure constructed of or faced with stone or brick and having a rectangular base and four sloping triangular (or sometimes trapezoidal) sides meeting at an apex (or truncated to form a platform). Pyramids have been built at various times in Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, western Asia, Greece, Cyprus, Italy, India, Thailand, Mexico, South America, and on some islands of the Pacific Ocean.
