“New Energy Horizons” is the theme of Qatar’s pavilion at Expo 2017 Astana, reflecting the country’s ambition to minimise its carbon footprint while advancing its economy, driven by exports of oil and gas.
The pavilion welcomed visitors with animated wall displays depicting the country’s evolution over time, from its ancestral traditions to the discovery of the oil and gas, and the development of Qatar as a vibrant and modern economy. Qatar’s advancements in green technologies – notably solar power – were then showcased using a series of interactive video screens.
Visitors then followed a spiral corridor detailing the country’s efforts to promote happy, healthy and sustainable lifestyles, with a combination of wall displays, touchscreens and virtual reality experiences providing information about preserving precious resources and reducing waste.
The spiral led to a circular hall of mirrors that introduced the concept of “Human Energy” and the four pillars of the Qatar National Vision 2030: human, social, economic, environmental. Combined with light effects and interactive screens, visitors were invited to contribute to a wish list for a greener planet.
Engaging the youngest visitors, the pavilion also featured a children’s activity room with computer games and colouring books in line with the Future Energy theme.
