Technical information

The Abyssinia Pavilion will be constructed using advanced and sustainable materials to ensure both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. The primary structural framework will utilize high-strength steel, providing durability and support for the intricate design. Reinforced concrete will be employed for the foundation and support columns, ensuring stability and resilience. The façade will feature custom-designed panels made from a combination of fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which are lightweight, durable, and allow for the creation of complex patterns. High-performance glass will be used for windows and transparent sections, ensuring energy efficiency and a modern look. Sustainable and locally sourced materials will be prioritized wherever possible, adhering to environmental standards and promoting eco-friendly construction practices.
