Through this creation, it conveys a crucial message: feeding more than 9 billion people tomorrow, while preserving our environmental capital, is a paramount challenge.<br\/> A building with complex geometry and curved shapes.<br\/> Laminated timber structure with invisible fixing system: modular system allowing infinite disassembly and reassembly, with a reduced operating time (20 months in total from the start of programming until delivery, and an ultra-fast actual construction time of 8 months to meet the deadlines of the Exhibition).<br\/> Glulam spruce on the inside and larch on the outside. The elements \u2013 frame, ceiling, facades \u2013 are interlocked to create a structure that defines both the building envelope and the interior volume. The primary structure consists of truss beams and columns spaced 4.50 m apart. A secondary frame is inserted every 1.50 m, forming square panels.<br\/> This large-scale project, involving coordination with 145 participating countries, required rigorous organization and efficient execution to meet the logistical and temporal challenges of the World Expo.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creation of the French Pavilion at the 2015 Universal Exposition in Milan (Italy).
