When they exit the cone, visitors see the biotope covered in plants for the first time. Scents recreate the smells of Dutch soil.

We strategically emphasize certain senses in concert with the pavilion’s architecture. Visitors’ five senses will be spoiled for choice – though not all at once. The hosts wear blue overalls because they are the workers who help keep this factory running. Inside, puffs of mist from the evaporative cooling evoke a steam engine. On the ramps, you hear sounds of steel and Dutch innovations, such as the ‘swoosh’ of windmill blades. There is a control room with monitors and there are orange carts and wheelbarrows that act as mobile umbrella stands. Everything breathes the atmosphere of a fresh, future industry. The visitor experience reinforces the factory metaphor of the pavilion’s architecture. In this way, the pavilion acts as a catalyst to inspire the world to change. Only united water, energy and food solutions can help the world achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The pavilion showcases experimental solutions to major issues of water scarcity, energy transition and food shortages on a life-sized scale model. This temporary, circular climate system exists through a combination of unique innovations. The pavilion is a biotope – a miniature world with its own cycle. It’s raining stories, innovations and possibilities in the pavilion. Every day, the pavilion harvests 800 liters of water from the desert air to manufacture rain. Kossmanndejong developed a multisensory experience in which visitors can discover the Netherlands’ innovation and ambition. How can we make it rain in the desert? How can we use natural resources already present to provide food? These are just two questions that this pavilion answers.
