2020迪拜世博会阿联酋馆——设计灵感来源于“猎鹰”

Construction has begun on one of the centerpiece structures at the upcoming 2020 Dubai Expo, the Santiago Calatrava-designed UAE Pavilion.

阿联酋馆的设计灵感来源于猎鹰，占地面积达15000多平方米，共有四层楼，其中包括一个1717平方米的顶层接待厅；一个588平方米的夹层将用于配套功能，剩下的两层将包含12000平方米的展览空间，其设计主题为“连接思想，创造未来”。

Inspired by the shape of a flying falcon, the UAE Pavilion covers more than 15,000 square meters and four floors, including a 1,717-square-meter top story hospitality lounge. A 588-square-metre mezzanine will house support functions, with the remaining two floors containing 12,000 square meters will of exhibition space showcasing displays that respond to the Expo theme of “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future.”

在2020迪拜世博会开幕式上，Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum倡导这一设计是阿联酋传统和未来的象征：

“阿联酋馆将成为2020世博会最重要的景点之一，吸引了数百万观众目睹其未来的设计。这将是一个很好的机会，分享我们的阿联酋文化和成就，同时展示我们对未来的雄心壮志。这个展馆将是一个建筑奇迹，七个酋长国都可以引以为荣，无论是现在在开创性的阶段，在世博会期间，还是在遗产当中，它将成为我们国家的一个持久的地标建筑。

At the groundbreaking ceremony Chairman of the Expo 2020 Dubai Higher Committee H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum championed the design as a symbol of Emirati tradition and future:

“The UAE Pavilion will undoubtedly be one of the most prominent attractions of Expo 2020, drawing in many millions to witness its futuristic design. It will be a wonderful opportunity to share our Emirati culture and achievements while showcasing our ambitious vision for the future. The Pavilion will be an architectural marvel that all seven Emirates can rightly take pride in, both now at the ground-breaking stage, during Expo, and in legacy when it will become a lasting icon of our nation.”
