Austrian pavilion at Expo Milano 2015

Air as an essential element for the development of life in any form is Austria’s theme at Expo Milano 2015. The Austrian pavilion, entitled "breathe.austria", will be formed by planting a forest, a green oasis in the world’s fair.

The Austrian pavilion is more than "just" a tree planting project: it is an example of an urban project representing the country’s green policies. A cooling system obtained with irrigation circuits, nozzles for evaporation and for moistening green surfaces make it easy to maintain the right temperature with the typical smell of a forest; the project will be completed with a pool of water for collection of rainwater.
12 metre high trees will tower over many of the pavilions at Expo Milano 2015 and define its skyline.
