Spaceagency has designed the wayfinding and signage system for Expo 2020 Dubai, incorporating a local UNESCO-protected weaving technique.
Expo 2020 was due to open at Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in October last year but has been postponed until October 2021 and is set to run until March 2022.
It’s the first time that the world exposition has been postponed. It will showcase pavilions from over 190 countries including the UK entry, a “choral landscape”, by Es Devlin. The original name has been retained for branding.
Spaceagency started work on the project in 2014, according to studio director Sarah Manning, and the design has evolved several times over this period.
