The government is seeking 鈥榚xceptional鈥� team to design and engineer UK pavilion at 2015 Milan Expo
The government is seeking an 鈥榚xceptional鈥� team to design the country鈥檚 pavilion at next year鈥檚 Milan Expo.
Under a competition organised by Malcolm Reading Consultants, multi-disciplinary teams have just under a month to submit expressions of interest for the project.
Organisers are asking for an 鈥渙riginal, visually compelling and memorable鈥� building or buildings to compete with those of more than 140 other countries and addressing the overall theme of the Expo on delivering a sustainable and high-quality food supply for the world.
A spokesperson for Malcom Reading Consultants said: 鈥淭he new Pavilion should build on the perception of the UK established by its pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010 and the London 2012 Olympic Games.
鈥淭he challenge is to invent a structure that represents a British take on the Expo theme. The Expo organisers have asked for pavilions which are designed in relation to their content and add to their significance.
鈥淲e will be looking for multi-disciplinary creative teams with expertise in contemporary design, events and exhibitions management, engineering, sustainability, digital skills, interpretation and education.
鈥淲e are keen to invite commercial partners and sponsors to bid within consortia. The teams should be structured under a lead consultant identified within the submission.鈥�
The Expo organisers have also requested 鈥渓ight horizontal constructions that play on the contrast between alternating full and empty spaces鈥� which allow glimpses of other landscapes and pavilions.
Expressions of interest have to be submitted by 2pm on 19 February. For more information, visit
