Stunning new architecture and some of the worlds renowned artists will welcome visitors to the International Expo in Zaragoza this summer. Kicking off June 15, under the theme: Water and Sustainable Development, Spains fifth largest city is expected to draw six million attendees and bring in over $1.2 billion in tourism revenues. More than 100 countries have already signed on.
A collection of singular and environmentally-friendly buildings and public spaces designed by an impressive roster of architects has risen beside the Ebro River and will remain after the Expo ends:
.The Water Tower Enrique de Teresa Trilla?s new visual icon for the city is shaped like a drop of water. Its façade of glass curtain walls makes it transparent by day and a shining beacon at night, while inside visitors will experience storms, rainbows and icebergs.
. Rivers Aquarium Europes largest freshwater aquarium will contain 5000 specimens representing 300 species and allow visitors to tour the ecosystems of the worlds five greatest rivers.
. Bridge Pavilion Covered in glass fiber concrete and 29,000 triangles of the innovative new sustainable fibreC, the sinuous, light-filled, two-story bridge by Hadid will host an anticipated 10,000 visitors per hour.
. Pavilion of Spain The black poplar plantations lining the Ebros banks inspired Patxi Mangado to design this pillared structure that will house an exhibition on bioclimatic architecture.
. Pavilion of Aragón Symbolizing the regions basket-weaving tradition, Daniel and Alberto Mangado created the exterior of interwoven glass and metal plaits.
