Food to Facades
EXPO CONNECTION
Sustainability will permeate Expo 2020 through the design of smart buildings,
careful choice of materials and supply chains, as well as through engaging
experiences that remind us of our connection to the earth. We will demonstrate
new ways to regenerate water, upcycle waste, and reduce carbon emission,
offering palpable insights into a brighter future.
