Green Events Centre on the channel shore - Timişoara

Expo Bega is a proposal for a green event & permanent exhibition centre, focused on ecology and renewable energies. The venue includes cafes, floating terraces and the park-like roofing is designed for leisure and outdoor educational activities.

The shape of the building comes to symbolize water and its interior splits into three aisles that provide a flexible use of space.
Each aisle works as a wave-shaped self-standing structure, whose curls are welcoming visitors at one end, while the opposite end  melts into the lawn. The access is also highlighted  by a smal urban square located towards the Eifel Bridge. Due to this orientation “Expo Bega” takes advantage of the main flow of pedestrian traffic.
On the inside, this event and exhibition center is designed as a global container. Small red functional boxes are spread halfway along the aisles. Direct access to water is provided, so that visitors can get to the floating terraces just by crossing under the seawall.
The wavy, earth sheltered exhibition and events center ends into a small, private amphitheater, while green terraces and photovoltaic glazing sit on the top,  open to public.
