The exclusive building site tour of Expo 2015
Archilovers and Edilportale, along with UNICMI and Alessandro Rosso Group, are proud to present beforeEXPO 2015, the exclusive guided tour of the most talked-about construction site in Italy. For four days only, the Expo gates will open to the public prior to its official opening.
The tour is geared toward all architects, designers, and professionals who want a behind- the-scenes look at the main Expo pavilions designed by world renowned architects and designers.
This March beforeEXPO 2015 will guide you through excavators and bulldozers in a construction site that’s over 1 million meters large and hosts three thousand workers and technicians on a 24 hour basis.
This is an exclusive professional experience which grants full access to Expo 2015’s building sites before the pavilions are completed. It’s an experience which offers a sneak-peek on modern construction techniques and materials used by the sector’s top companies. It’s more than a construction site, it’s more like an open-air architecture and engineering museum. The professional credits offered by the tour are an added bonus of this once-in-a-lifetime learning experience.
The guided tour will be led by technical experts from the ‘Progettazione dell’Involucro edilizio’ (Building Shell Design Department) from the Polytechnic of Milan.
Visitors will be granted an official Expo pass to be utilized after its inauguration on May 1st.
