The Swiss Pavilion at Dubai Expo has won a gold medal. According to a press release , it was voted the best pavilion for medium-sized country presentations at the World Expo Awards organized by Exhibitor magazine.

She was also supported in the implementation by Zurich architects OOS and Lorenz Eugster ‘s office for landscape architecture, also in Zurich. The partners worked on behalf of Presence Switzerland .

Overall, the world exhibition in Dubai has so far had over 19 million visitors. It runs until the end of March.
