"The Bahrain Pavilion is conceived as an anatomy of a dhow, capturing the essence of rhythm, timber construction, and sense of voyage without direct replication."
"These materials give the structure a soft, sail-like appearance, evoking the fabric of a traditional dhow and gently filtering daylight into the space."
The Bahrain Pavilion, designed by Lina Ghotmeh, stands at 17 meters and draws inspiration from the country's coastal heritage and traditional dhow boats. Titled 'Connecting Seas', the pavilion features a unique design with a distinctively curved roof and is constructed from 3,000 pieces of Japanese cedar. It showcases an atrium that spans four floors and utilizes translucent membranes to create a light, airy effect, reminiscent of traditional sails while allowing natural light to filter through, fostering an engaging atmosphere.
