“We are committed to ensure that the leading practices of environmental sustainability are embedded at the heart of the design process. Accordingly, the UAE Pavilion is energy-conscious and integrates a range of elements and qualities of sustainable design, ensuring the longevity of the structure, to withstand the test of time”. -- Santiago Calatrava

The 15,000 square meters pavilion stands as a "symbolic interpretation of the flow of movement", designed with carefully curated lines and spaces that blend with its surroundings of greenery, shaded arcades, and cantilevered wings. Quoted from

To translate the pavilion's central theme of "wings that depict the flow of movement", the roof structure consists of a hybrid system between a shell and a portal frame, composed of 28 wings. The wings can be opened within 3 minutes, covering a range of 110 and 125 degrees. In terms of mechanism, 46 hydraulic actuators activate the rotation of the wings, functioning as pistons. Once activated, hydraulic oil is pushed through these actuators, extending the pistons to open the wings to their full capacity.
