这是由Miralles Tagliabue EMBT为2015年米兰世博会设计的“爱IT” Copagri企业馆。该展馆位于Arena湖的东南边，这是世博会规划主轴尽端的大型圆形水池，周边是欧盟馆和万科馆。室内空间被设想为一个典型的意大利“当地市集”，每个生产商都可以在此展出其产品、推销并介绍其公司。除了活动区外，部分建筑表皮区可以直接销售产品或意大利街头食品、披萨和雪糕，百分百有机产品。

建筑师最初的设计概念，来自意大利城市最经典的建筑穹顶，不同时期的穹顶代表了意大利优秀的建筑空间。因此，该项目是由相同直径、高度不同的2个单个穹状建筑结合而成。这2个穹状建筑一起构成了一个灵活且结构良好的空间，能为了适应不同的需求，进一步的细分结构。这个双层穹状建筑包括一个胶合层木结构元素的“折纸工艺”，由钢板构成。这个穹状建筑被认为是周边巨大公共空间的变异结构；对于这个原因，这些结构展示出明确的渗透性以及与这个装置完全的一致性。这个结构开放的特质在一个功能不断减少的机械系统上得以具体化，支持自然光和自然通风。这个双层的穹状建筑是一个预制结构，由云杉胶合层木构成，带有镀锌的钢铁节点。数控机器切割结构元素，而且世博会之后可满足COPAGRI公司再回收利用的需求，它们易于组合和拆分，也符合该项目竞赛的要求。

The pavilion designed for Copagri called ‘Love IT’ is located in the south-east part of the Lake Arena – a large circular pool of water at the end of the Cardo, one of the main axes of the Expo Milano 2015 masterplan – and surrounded by the European Union Pavilion and the Vanke Pavilion.The space inside is conceived to host a typical Italian ‘local market’, where each producer exhibits the product, tells their story, and introduces their company. Besides hosting an events area, part of the surface area is for the direct sale of products and the icons of Italian street food, pizza and ice cream, made with 100% organic products.

The design started from the observation of Italian landscapes, both natural and man-shaped. During the initial design phase, we had the following thoughts:The splendor of the Italian cities, which are beautifully represented by their domes.The "landscape" of Rome, Florence, Turin, Venice and Milan is identified with the skyline of their domes, which in different ages always represented the exceptional architectural spaces in Italy.The Pantheon of ancient Rome, Brunelleschi in Florence, Bramante, Bernini, Borromini, Mengoni, Nervi: the Italian domes could tell the story of Italian civilization, and its artistic wonders.

In our project the domes are not only representing the magnificence of the Italian past, but they also show us potential for the future lying in the construction of domes.Continuing the path illustrated by the engineer and inventor Buckminster Fuller, we propose and experiment domes as sustainable structures that, besides being beautiful, use a minimum of materials so that they can be optimized and designed for production in series with a consequent great ease of construction.

The dome ‘LOVE IT’, made of wood, represents a message of sustainability and is hosting several exhibitions, accompanying the visitors in the topics proposed by Expo Milano 2015.At the end of the Expo, when all the buildings will be removed, these domes can be easily dismantled, transported and reassembled in symbolic Italian places to host a variety of functions. Therefore, they will make this part of the Expo even more sustainable, witnessing for a long time to come the universal message of Expo Milano 2015 "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life".

The project stems from the combination of two single domes of equal diameter, but different heights. The two domes together create a flexible and well-structured space that could be further subdivided in order to fit different needs of the internal spaces. The double dome consists of an “origami” of structural glulam elements, joined by steel plates.The dome is conceived as a variation of the vast surrounding public space: for this reason, the structures present clear permeability and full congruence with the setting. The open nature of the structure is materialized in the use of natural lighting and natural ventilation.

The structure is composed of a big three-dimensional grid that gradually transforms in woven branches, as it grows to the open top of the dome. The structural elements become architectural ones, designing both the internal and the external facades as tree branches; the empty spots of the grid enhance air and light permeability, together with visual continuity between outside and inside.

The double dome is a prefabricated structure, made of spruce glulam with zinc-coated steel joints. Numerical control machines cut the structural elements, and they can be easily assembled and dismantled in agreement with Copagri’s need of reuse after the Expo, as expressed by the project competition requirements.The upper part of the domes, called “the hat”, can host the required building services both for the building itself and for the Lake Arena, consisting of lights, loudspeakers, antennas …

An internal PVC sheet, suspended from the vertexes of the structure, covering the openings and avoiding water penetration, provides water resistance. The PVC seam follows the structural grid.White translucent pressurized PVC cushions cover the internal space in correspondence of the central oculus: those cushions are not linked to the internal PVC sheet, guaranteeing natural ventilation through stack effect. Natural ventilation is indeed essential: in addition to the upper openings, all the perimeter of the dome is covered with a net fabric, whose zigzag pattern follows the structural grid and ensures ventilation.

The dome appears as a lighting element of the public square: the structure not only includes a self-lighting system, but also provides lighting for the surroundings: it sparkles like a glowing lantern and the light reflects on the Lake Arena water surface, amplifying the splendor of the area.The spectacular lamps, also shaped as a dome, are suspended from the PVC sheet tie-beams and dangle from the structure to light up all the elements of the internal set-up.According to the exhibitors’ needs, the dome has two entrances, in order to optimize the visitors’ flows coming from Palazzo Italia, from the Cardo and from the shows around the Albero della Vita.

The internal layout is organized in areas. The small dome will host 13 huge triangular counters, recreating the typical Italian market atmosphere. Each counter will host, rotating every week, unique and natural products, narrated by their farmers. Under the bigger dome, a cylinder will house a small cooking demonstration room, a multi-sensorial exhibit and two spaces dedicated to biological pizza and ice-cream tasting.

The entrance doors are made of an steel frame and wooden panels: those doors will be opened in the morning and kept open during all day.These modular panels, identical to the structural ones, can be opened and therefore reveal their real nature. In the closing hours of the dome, they will recreate the completeness of the wooden grid.The foundation of the dome is a strip-footing ring made of reinforced concrete.The internal floor is made of high-use-resistant and easy-cleaning, colored synthetic acid that become part of the concrete floor.
