Azerbaijan Pavilion Expo 2015 by Simmetrico Network Simmetrico Network, in collaboration with Arassociati architectural studio and AG&P landscape architectural studio, has projected the Azerbaijan pavilion for Expo 2015. The project was born and developed around the central theme of biodiversity, peculiarity and treasure of a country made of different climatic, geographical and morphological areas. Azerbaijan is strategically located in Caucasia between the North, South, East and West, and is one of Mankind’s oldest cultural sites, a crossroads for history, culture, biology, nature and ecology. Its variety of spaces and forms looks to recreate an extensive climatic biodiversity and reflect cultural aspects of Azerbaijan. The pavilion is built with simple and clean shapes, made of typical materials of Azerbaijani territory, according to bio-architectural criteria that provide the minimal energy waste. Visitors can explore its different features through the way in which the pavilion is built.
