In a country that has been tormented by conflict, we wanted our pavilion to be an inclusive space, and a reminder of who we are as Syrians and as humans. Since the dawn of documented history, the Syrian people have contributed major achievements to the development of human history.

2020 has been started with a disparate and unfamiliar condition. The pandemic that was expected to be finished within days or months has continued for a year, and there is no optimistic prophecy for its termination. As a designer, we should not necessarily see this as the end of the world, and we should not overreact.
