So the Tree Of Life comprises of a crown which rises 37 meters in height, supported by a very intricate but elegant steel and wood trunk. It was created to be used a symbol for the Italy pavilion. It was designed to serve as an influential and evocative beacon for the large number of visitors to the Expo Milan.

The Colombian pavilion is 1.907 square meters on various levels where visitors are exposed to different climate zones on as many different floors to characterize the “pisos termicos”: hot, temperate, cold, páramo and perpetual snow.
A sensory journey with music, flavours, colours and perceptions awaits the visitors inside of the pavilion alongside illustrations of typical products of Colombia. Dealing with efficiency and sustainability, the Colombian pavilion also reflects the central theme of Expo 2015 in Milan of building balance between humans and nature. In order to protect the environment, the single pieces of the pavilion were collected by Legnolandia in order to reduce time and resources for assembly and dismantling of the pavilion. The company Legnolandia has a hundred years of experience in designing and building wooden buildings. So along with students from both 2nd and 3rd years of Architectural Technology and Interior Design we went on a trip to Milan to visit the Expo 2015, altogether there was roughly 15 of us. The main purpose of the trip was to go and visit the Expo 2015.
The Expo Milano 2015 is the Universal Exhibition that Milan, Italy, is hosting from May 1 to October 31, 2015. Over this six-month period, Milan becomes a global showcase where more than 140 participating countries show the best of their technology that offers a concrete answer to a vital need: being able to guarantee healthy, safe and sufficient food for everyone, while respecting the Planet and its equilibrium. In addition to the exhibitor nations, the Expo also involves international organizations, and expects to welcome over 20 million visitors to its 1.1 million square meters of exhibition area.
