The Basque Country has a 300m2 pavilion in Expo Zaragoza. The main theme of the pavilion is Water, Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development, set in the context of the struggle against Climate Change.
 The pavilion aims to seduce the visitor with an impressive visual impact. The objective is to present concepts such as Innovation, Technology, Nature and Tradition through different materials: LEDs, methacrylate, wood and umbrellas.
The ceiling, using methacrylate, will feature a representation of water in the form of rain and the sea. And the LED's will create the skies overhead. The main river courses and river basins will be carved onto wooden panels. And the visitor, upon moving the umbrellas which hang from the ceiling, will be surrounded by images of society and its relationship with the water cycle with the umbrellas serving as screens.
 Through peepholes the visitor will be able to see different landscapes and subjects and will be able to have a photograph of themselves with their chosen landscape in the background.
Finally the photos of the Basque Country will form a world map which will represent the participation of the visitors and their origins.
