The US pavilion for Expo 2020 Dubai is to be designed by the experiential design and production agency Thinkwell Group and will explore "the exciting future made possible by American innovation, vision, and enterprise".

The building will be designed in such a way as to appear to be moving at times and will house exhibits about journeying to Mars, the city of the future and 3D-printed prosthetics and organs.

It was conceived by a consortium of 13 leading American organisations and renderings show it being lit with the colours of the American flag.

"As an American-Lebanese dual citizen working in the UAE, it is incredibly exciting to be a part of the United States' participation that is made possible thanks to Thinkwell's local presence and global footprint," said Amin Rashmani, managing director for EMEA at Thinkwell Group.

"Our teams look forward to sharing the innovation and vision of the United States through the design and development of the USA Pavilion at this global event."
