After news of the winner of the competition for the Spanish Pavilion of the Expo Dubai2020 in which the first prize went to the team formed by Amann-Canovas-Maruri, they now share the material of the project that explains it.
The authors of the proposal Amann-Canovas-Maruri explain in the description of the project that their proposal has "character". However, what is the character? when the first published visualization of the project coincides in time with the publication also of the Austrian pavilion, for the same exhibition, and the coincidences ones are so "reasonable".

It is true, there was no luck in that first image. Now the most developed project is presented and the project is interesting. Below, it is necessary to carry out a good execution and work, an added effort, to ensure that the project really has that difference that makes it forget the first references and initial coincidences.
 

Project description by Amann-Canovas-Maruri

Memoria de El pabellón de España, coordinado por Acción Cultural Española (AC/E), -organismo público responsable de gestionar la presencia de España en las exposiciones universales e internacionales-"

Personas y Lugares.

Es fácil hacer un Pabellón de exposiciones y que éste se convierta en un Centro Comercial de la periferia de alguna de nuestras grandes ciudades. Es decir, una pieza sin carácter y sometida a los intereses del puro comercio.

Viéndolo de este modo, la dificultad de un proyecto como éste consiste en no perder de vista qué frente a la representación pura, que sobre las condiciones de espectáculo estricto es posible ofrecer a las personas lugares amables e inteligentes en los que refugiarse o simplemente vivir.

El Pabellón que proponemos es un conjunto de plazas entrelazadas, un rosario de espacios caracterizados en los que prima un cierto sentimiento doméstico sin dejar de cubrir los requerimientos de gestión de grupos. El lugar es por tanto un espacio que quiere ser cercano y amable construyéndose con materiales evocadores y que proporcionen domesticidad, no quiere ser un centro comercial o de negocios.

El Pabellón que proponemos quiere ser un espacio abierto a la sombra, un lugar de lugares en el que las personas puedan sentarse a leer o simplemente a descansar, es un lugar de mensajes y el de la vida lenta es uno de ellos y quizás el más importante. Este es un lugar donde se espera y como ya sabemos el placer y el dolor se encuentran en las salas de espera, esta plaza quiere fabricar una espera tan amable que se convierta en fin.

Ante la velocidad agobiante que padece la sociedad contemporánea no es desdeñable un conjunto de espacios en los que la lentitud también tenga cabida.

El Pabellón es una concatenación de espacios intermedios, de lugares que producen sensaciones, en los que el tiempo parece recobrarse. Después de tanta caminata es grato pensar que el Pabellón de España procura un banco, una sombra y agua para escucharla y también para beberla. Ese ofrecimiento es un acto de bienvenida y de amistad. El agua controlada es un bien preciado.

El edificio se ofrece como un espacio abierto cuyo límite es la sombra y el aire atemperado. Si alguien pregunta dónde está el límite de este Pabellón la respuesta es sencilla: donde termina la sombra.
