The Israeli Pavilion - "The Fields of Tomorrow" 

Expo Milano 2015 represents an opportunity for Israel to provide visitors the agricultural knowledge and skills acquired during many generations.

The pavilion’s key feature, designed by the architect David Knafo,  is the "vertical field": an exterior wall, 70 meters long and 12 meters high, fully decorated with living crops, whose flowers and colors change with the passing of the seasons.

The wall is unique in size, and combines the deployment of new and advanced technological innovations. The system enables growing almost any plant or crop.

Rice, wheat and corn are the main plants grown in the vertical field at the EXPO Milano– these crops make up 70% of the food consumed by the world population.

 

The Vertical Field is centered to be a main stage for generations to come. The soil-based technology for water conservation and plant nutrition will change the face of city landscaping forever, and will boost crop growing capabilities within cities all over the world.
