The winning entry wants the Estonian pavilion to be as open as possible, made of wooden boxes where people can swing. The pavilion represents themes that are common to and admirable about Estonia. The visitor is part of a multifunctional and interactive environment, a gallery of positive experiences. The leading motive is harmony with nature and traditions regenerating hand in hand with technology.
The pavilion presents relevant displays, cultural programmes and events in the course of 6 months from May to October 2015.
Estonia has taken part in the event three times: once before the Soviet occupation (in 1933) and twice since it regained its independence (in 2000 and 2010). Participation in the EXPO 2015 will cost Estonia an estimated €3.7 million. The pavilion is built by the Italian company Redaelli Costruzioni S.p.A.
