History - SIAM (Thailand) at Expo 1904 Saint-Louis
The symbols of Buddhism, the lotus flower and the flame, both emblematic of purity, were in evidence everywhere in the inner and outer decorations. In the hall were the portraits of the King, the Queen and the Crown Prince of Siam. Specimens of Siamese art industries, such as delicate work in hammered brass, embroideries, musical instruments, richly worked elephant saddles and boxes inlaid with mother-of-pearl, filled the hall, the windows of which consisted in handsome transparencies depicting Siamese temples.
A visit to this building richly paid, because in a short time a great deal of information about this Oriental Kingdom could be gathered.

History - Germany at the Columbian Exposition of Chicago, on 1893
The German Building
Making a fine showing in nearly all departments of the Columbian Exposition the German Empire excelled in its official building.
Facing the lake, where it's character could be fully appreciated, the structure compelled the unstinted admiration or the visiting world. The ground area occupied was one hundred and fifty by one hundred and seventy-five feet and the cupola rose to the height of one heudred and fifty feet, the total cost of the building being a quater of a million dollars (of 1893); but it was not its dimensions nor cost, but the novelty and charm of its form and coloring which attracted attention. It was a poetical edifice, one telling, in a way, the story of the Fatherland, with a richness of coloring and ornament which was as historically and artictically correct as it was picturesque.
In the belfry was a chime of bells, with the sweet sounds of which visitors to the Fair became familiar, and which, after the Exposition's clos, were returned to the Church of Mercy, in Berlin.
The main portion of the interior was in simulation of a chapel, its furnishings corresponding with the idea, while apart from this a host of historical and charming objects increased the merit of the interior. There were valuable displays of books, and the visitor could gain in this building information of the greatest interest. The structure was solidly built and may remain a permanent feature of the park.

WEBSITE of Guinea pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai - UAE
Located in the sustainability section of the Expo site and a few meters from the pavilion of the host country, the Pavillon Guinée is titled "Puisez à la Source".
Like its symbolic name, "West African Water Castle", Guinea wishes to highlight its strong link with the water element. At the Expo, the country will use water to take millions of visitors on a journey through its history, culture and innovations.
Water will be omnipresent on the pavilion of Guinea in an imaginative, visual and sound way, especially through its cultural diversity shaped between sea, mangrove, mountain springs and dense forests.
The immense hydropower potential (6000Mw) in particular, and energy in general as well as all the related possibilities (agriculture, mining reserves, fishing and tourism potential) will be highlighted in the guinea pavilion at Expo.
The discourse around water will also be the vector of an awareness on the protection of our environment threatened by demographic and climatic changes.
Guinea is actively working with Expo Dubai 2020 teams and will soon be presenting the world with a taste of its pavilion!

Austria pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai - The Website and the pavilion !
In an age in which information is ubiquitous, it’s easy to find quick answers. The difficult part, however, is asking the right questions.
The Austrian pavilion “in dialogue with austria” offers the necessary space to enter into dialogue with the most important questions about a shared and brighter future.
"The winning project by querkraft architekten stands out because of its distinctive architectural qualities, both in terms of its exterior appearance and in terms of the possibilities for interior design. The deliberate sensual character of the architecture creates attractive possibilities for interdisciplinary cooperation with artists and designers from other disciplines."

Guinea pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai... The Logo !
Take a look to the nice logo of Guinea pavilion :
A dancing woman, a wise old man, a mermaid, a Baga mask, you have been numerous on social networks to share with us your conjectures on the meaning of the logo chosen for the participation of Guinea in the Dubai World Expo in 2020.
Encouraging reflection and encouraging discussion are the two desired reactions through the development of our logo. The inspirations behind his concept were numerous:
Water, the central axis of the Guinean pavilion
From the ocean to the rivers, mangrove swamps, and the spectacular Fouta waterfalls, water is ubiquitous in Guinea. With more than 4000 mm of precipitation per year, the country's landscapes are marked by a diversity of aquatic environments. The different wave shapes in the logo evoke water.
Cultural wealth
Water in Guinea has several myths, symbols and traditions. A deity whose name differs according to region, Ningi-Nengé, Fato, Ninkinnanka is often associated with the spirit of water. Protector of rivers, announcing rain, purveyor of wealth, this mythological figure is the most representative of the spiritual bond that Guineans have maintained with water. The animal that repetitively represents her across the country, regardless of race, is the snake. The logo represents a flat-headed snake, in reference to the Baga snake, mask mostly known by African art lovers.
Traditional textile
The choice of colors and pattern is inspired by traditional Guinean textiles. A dyeing method, varying between deep blue and light blue is specific to the Fouta region. The coloring of these cotton fabrics is obtained by the plant lepi, specific to the average Guinea. The pattern is inspired by visible patterns on some of the dyed fabrics, such as Kindili, Lepi, or Batik.
The circle
The circle reflects the cycle of water as well as the notions of movement, renewal and inclusion. Capitalizing on its human capital, youth is at the heart of preparations for Guinea's participation in the exhibition. In a laboratory approach, a set of projects will be developed to expose the current dynamics of national transformation in Dubai.
The ascent
The ascensional shape of the snake highlights the current commitment of Guinea to move forward in the construction of the Vision Guinea Vision 2040. At the exhibition, the country will present a set of concrete achievements showing potential investors that the future is at hand. Without knowing it, by creating this logo, the Guinea team has strengthened its links with the organizers of the Dubai Exhibition. The Dubai Expo 2020 logo is inspired by a gold ring, one of the recently discovered historical artefacts on the archaeological site of Saruq Al-Hadid. On this site, archaeological objects representing snakes have also been discovered, suggesting a cult of the snake. For these ancient civilizations, the snake would have been a symbol of fertility, water and protection (source: https://www.visitdubai.com/en/articles/dubai-ancient-history-of-great-trade-economy).
