50-foot giants and superstar architects: Inside Expo 2020's Mobility pavilion
CNN
Featuring an immersive display created by the special effects team that worked on "The Lord of the Rings" films, the Mobility pavilion is one of the most ambitious at Expo 2020 Dubai.
(CNN) — Welcoming visitors at one of the main entrances to Expo 2020 Dubai is Alif, a pavilion named after the first letter of the Arabic alphabet and dedicated to Mobility. From the outside, its curvaceous, structure is impressive enough, but it hides an even more imposing sight: three giant figures of historical explorers, rendered in photo-realistic detail by the special effects team that worked on "The Lord of the Rings" films.
It's one of three thematic pavilions at the event, along with Opportunity and Sustainability. Together, they function as visual landmarks for the latest edition of the World Expo, an international exhibition that also hosts individual pavilions from 192 countries and will run for six months until the end of March 2022.
