Hopkins Architects master planned, designed, and delivered the largest built area of Expo 2020 - the ‘Thematic Districts’- creating a new piece of city which housed over 87 new permanent buildings and hosted the work of more than 136 participating countries in this covid-delayed exhibition. Three petal-shaped districts representing Mobility, Opportunity and Sustainability sit at the heart of the Expo masterplan and connect to the central Al Wasl Plaza. A central spine runs through each district connecting to a main plaza, with water features, event stages, activity areas and rest places.
