The opening of Pavilion MANAL was a truly memorable occasion. With the venue filled to capacity, the event brought together a diverse audience in an atmosphere buzzing with energy, curiosity, and shared purpose. It marked the celebration of a significant milestone: completing this ambitious project through the collaboration of an interdisciplinary partner ecosystem united by a shared vision for a resource-saving and low CO2 construction industry.

The pavilion stands as a testament to what can be achieved when boundaries are shifted, and expertise across fields is combined. From architects and engineers to researchers, industry players, and material innovators, the project has been shaped by a rich interplay of ideas, pushing the limits of what sustainable building practices can look like in the modern world.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us in celebrating this achievement. Your presence and support made this milestone even more meaningful. Together, we look forward to further advancing the conversation and practice of sustainable construction. Thank you for being part of this journey!
