The team led by OOS has won the planning competition of the FDFA for the Swiss Pavilion at EXPO 2020 Dubai UAE. The concept "Reflections" helps Switzerland to make a strong appearance.

Reflections" presents an innovative implementation of the core messages specified by Presence Switzerland in space and experience. The structure combines tradition and innovation, outlines relationships between Orient and Occident and creates a unique presence: The funnel-shaped mirrored front of the pavilion serves both as a spectacular eye-catcher and as a reflection surface.
