スタジオドディチが大阪万博セルビア館のプロジェクトマネージメントをしました。
セルビア館は「浮遊する森(Floating Forest)」をコンセプトとし、ベオグラード中心部にある自然豊かな島に着想を得ており、都市の革新性と豊かな自然や文化遺産が共存するというセルビアのアイデンティティを象徴しています。
The Serbian pavilion is located in a strategic position, just to the side of the west entrance, by the escalator climbing up to the ring and in front of the robot Gundam.
The structure is a recyclable modular steel grid sitting on individual steel footings.
The foundation does not make use of concrete, optimizing both the cost and the environmental impact.
The naming of the building, “Floating Forest” finds its materialization in the “green” façade, but the pavilion layout and visitor experience are more aligned with the theme of “Play for Humanity” which is also the main concept of the upcoming Expo 2027 to be held in Belgrade.
The “Play” concept is expressed in the sporty running track`s lanes to be used as a queuing area, and all over in the interactive displays where it is possible to follow the path of a “Kliker” (a kind of marble) in a kinetical maze that is half mechanical and half virtual.
Marbles are a universal symbol of play and through the interactive displays, visitors encounter Nikola Tesla, Mihajlo Pupin, and Milutin Milanković, who developed their sense of innovation through play as children.
The pavilion floor area consists of about 750 m2 with a conference/vip area, offices, and a restaurant on the ground floor and the visitor experience on the second level.
The pavilion was designed by Aleatek Studio supported by “Structured Environment” for the AoR and structural design scope of work.
Beyond Limits acted as client`s representative and project manager, supported by studio dodici.
The construction work was carried out by GL Events Japan KK.
