Pragma is a design studio based in Dubai operating within the fields of architecture, urbanism, and research. This pavilion was created for the Floriade Expo 2022, inspired by the concept of a ‘secret garden’ ; within this garden, a meticulous preservation and nurturing of plants take place. The pavilion’s architectural design pays homage to the traditional Emirati home, where both the residence and the garden are discreetly shielded from view by a boundary wall, ensuring a sense of visual privacy.
To create this boundary wall, 3D-printed claustra walls were employed, representing an innovative endeavor to blend tradition with sustainability. Historically, claustra walls were used in traditional homes to provide privacy, shade, and natural ventilation.
Furthermore, the intricate 3D-printed cladding design pays homage to the UAE’s rich cultural heritage, drawing inspiration from the traditional weaving technique known as ‘Al-Sadu.
