With ‘breathe’ Austria presents a pointed contribution on the of theme of “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life” at the Expo Milano 2015. ‘breathe’ places nutrition at the forefront, as well as one of our most important resources at the center of international attention: AIR.

Not only is Austria’s air quality very high by world standards and one of the countries most important characteristics, but air, climate and atmosphere connect also the entire planet. They are considered nutrients, information carriers, energy producers and resources.

The Austrian pavillion ‚breathe‘ presents not only the natural and technical expertise of the country, but is also devoted to addressing future problems in dealing with these important raw materials. The Austrian forest planted at the Expo site acts as a sensual air and climate experience in a former industrial area in north-west Milan.

‘A pavilion that performs like a forest!’

In the center of the pavilion there is a 560 m2 large forest vegetation area, which merges architecture, nature, culture and research into a sensual experience and produces an intense forest climate which generates clean, oxygen-rich air.
