From 10 June to 10 September 2017, a special-EXPO was held in Astana, Kazakhstan, the theme of which was “Energy of the Future”. The Georgian pavilion presented a vision of the future for the production and transit of energy in Georgia. The main focus of the pavilion was hydro-electricity – Georgia’s largest source of energy both now and in the future. Georgia’s capacity in the transit of energy makes Georgia a key country in the energy network of the surrounding area. The project was undertaken in joint with KOKO Architects, who developed the architecture of the pavilion.
The heart of the pavilion was a huge turbine, the internal blades of which functioned as sources of light and created a separate room in the middle of the pavilion. In between the blades was a space for learning through energy-themed games. The external blades, fitted with screens, divided the space intro separate sections that explained various subject pertaining to energy and, in a wider sense, Georgia itself.
The floor of the pavilion was designed as an energy map of Georgia, indicating both the capacity and intricacy of the country’s energy transit network including all the junctions in the system – that is, the larger hydroelectric power plants.
