The curved steel structure covered with a fibreglass membrane shape is based on the Mobius strip or a one-sided surface with no boundaries that looks like an infinite loop. The Mobius ribbon was discovered by a German mathematician in 1858 and has since fascinated artists and engineers with the concept of a one-sided object.
The design also alludes to a circular economy with plans to reuse the steel used in the construction after the Expo ends. Spanning over 50 meters, the pavilion will accommodate about 500 people at once.
