  • Towards the Expo 2015
    Towards the Expo 2015 1 Towards the Expo 2015 An Expo is a large international event that aims at the enrichment of human knowledge and technological progress, to promote cooperation and dialogue with international press. Given the importance of these major events, for almost a century now the need has arisen to standardise some aspects, such as duration, frequency and above all quality. The Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), established in 1928 with the International Convention of Paris is the international organisation responsible for establishing the parameters that control the Expo; the objective of the BIE is therefore to guarantee continuity of these events and maintain the level of international prestige earned over the years, selecting venues and dates and organising new Expos. The members of this organisation, with official headquarters in Paris, are all the States that have signed the convention. There are two different types of Expo: "Universal Expositions" (World Expo) and "International Expositions" (International Expo). The Expositions in the first category involve topics that concern the whole of humanity and therefore are global in nature. States, International Organisations, NGOs, Companies and other institutions can participate in these events, there is no limit to the size of the Exposition venue, and participants arrange the set-up of their own pavilions. Since 1996 these events have lasted six months and take place every five years. A Universal Expo will take place in Milan in 2015. 122 On the other hand the “International Expositions" take place in the period between the two Universal Expos and last for three months. The possible participants are the same as for a Universal Expo while the theme is more specific.

  • The EXPO MILANO Ex-Ante Control Mechanism in Italy
    The EXPO MILANO ex-ante control mechanism in Italy Country case: The EXPO MILANO ex-ante control mechanism in Italy Description Public Procurement Following several corruption scandals that occurred in 2013 and Principle: Evaluation, 2014 in the procurement and construction processes of EXPO2015 Accountability Milano, the President of ANAC (Autoritá Nationale Anticorruzione – National Anti-corruption Authority of Italy) was committed Procurement Stage: functions of supervision and guarantee of the fairness and Post-award transparency of the procurement procedures related to the implementation of the event in June 2014. As part of this Audience: Policy Maker, assignment in July 2014 ANAC established a special operational unit Procuring Entity (UOS) to monitor the projects of the EXPO 2015. With the establishment of the UOS several rules, procedures and control mechanisms were set as to monitor and exercise “a priori” control of the procurement processes (Linee Guida ANAC 17.07.2014). The establishment of ex ante control mechanisms, although not a common practice for Supreme Audit Institutions in OECD countries (only Chile, Italy and Portugal exercise it with regularity) seems adequate for the enforcement of additional integrity measures, necessary to be addressed at the development stage of the project. In fact, this approach could prove useful mainly in specific contexts, such as EXPO 2015, that have already been affected by instances of corruption which have not only contaminated existing tenders but also threaten to undermine future contracting procedures. Indeed, to be effective, ex ante controls of documents concerning the award and performance of public contracts for works, services and supplies of goods, by an entity separate from the contracting authority, cannot cover all public tenders but must focus on individual, specific cases with a “high risk of corruption”.

  • A Pavilion with Four Seasons at the Same Time
    A Pavilion with Four Seasons at the Same Time Salone del Mobile.Milano and CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati unveil “Living Nature”, a garden pavilion in Milan’s central square that uses energy flow control to allow spring, summer, autumn and winter to coexist under the same roof. The pavilion will be Salone del Mobile’s main venue in the city center MILAN, FEBRUARY 28TH, 2018 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE This spring, Salone del Mobile.Milano will work with international design and innovation office CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati to develop a project that explores the relationship between nature and living, with the aim of fostering a new debate on sustainable design in our homes. “Living Nature. La Natura dell’Abitare” is a garden pavilion where all four seasons coexist with each other at the same time, thanks to an innovative energy management system for climate control. The project, which stems from a concept by CRA and Studio Römer, will be open to the public in Milan’s main square (Piazza del Duomo) from the 17th to the 25th of April 2018, as the main city-based event during the 57th edition of Salone del Mobile.Milano. The 500 square-meter pavilion will house four natural, climatic microcosms that will enable all seasons of the year to unfold at precisely the same time, one next to the other. Visitors will be immersed in nature and experience its changes through the four different areas – Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn – embellished with familiar and domestic concepts. While it shapes a recreational space in the heart of the city “Living Nature” also explores the relationship between cities and nature, a recurring topic in Western history, from Ancient Greece to Frank Lloyd Wright or Ezebener Howard’s 20th century urban utopias.

  • Concepts and Categories in the History of World Expositions: Introductory Remarks
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by OpenstarTs Guido Abbattista Concepts and Categories in the History of World Expositions: Introductory Remarks This collection of essays presents the results of a two-year project carried out in 2012- 2013 at the University of Trieste by a group of researchers from various disciplines working under the direction of this author. We hope the variety of approaches and methods that in- spired the studies may convincingly illustrate some of the original and interesting perspec- tives from which national, international, universal and world expositions can be explored. World’s fairs and expositions have aroused increasing interest among scholars in the last two decades. As the authors of a 2006 essential bibliography point out, research on the history of international exhibitions and world’s fairs is burgeoning and […] sources on the topic have proliferated enormously in recent years. As a consequence, the field has grown tremendously and now involves disciplines as diverse as History, Cultural Geography, Urban Studies, Art History and the History of Architecture, among others.1 Scholars now have a growing number of specialized publications and reference texts in several languages at their disposal, including an Encyclopedia of World’s Fairs and Expositions2 as well as works on particular expositions, single national experiences or on 1 A.

  • Sub-Saharan Africa at EXPO 2015: Diversity Or Stereotypes? Many
    Sub-Saharan Africa at EXPO 2015: Diversity or stereotypes? D.A. Peskov, graduate student, Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of Russian Academy of Sci- ences. The article considers standardized pavilions of Sub-Saharan African countries at the 2015 Milan Uni- versal Exposition from the standpoint of differentiation from the existing common image. Uniform perception of a group of countries seriously undermines the attraction of each member both for visitors and investors. Analyzed were both exterior and interior of expositions - the only opportunity to show- case country's uniqueness - as well as memorial stamps of participant nations and national days' cele- brations at the EXPO. Declared by countries on the EXPO's site values and participation reasons are compared with the realities discovered on site. Assessment is provided to employed exhibiting and po- sitioning strategies; successful and less so differentiation attempts are reviewed. Keywords: world expositions, country image, territory branding, Sub-Saharan Africa Many countries put a lot of efforts into creation of an appealing image. Presently with the increase of world tourism and its revenues as well as economical and other ties among the nations, and thanks to ever increasing globalization and integration, more and more funds and attention is dedicated to the question of image. At times extra ef- forts are applied in order to dispel existing unfavorable view of a country or to create state's image from scratch, as it happens in the case of newly formed countries. In the public eye in spite of their multiplicity/multitude Sub-Saharan African countries appear homogeneous, which serves badly to their tourism and investment po- tential.
