EXPO 2020 DUBAI:
GCC Pavilion ARABESQUE Design

Reinterpreting Arabic Calligraphy Through Contemporary Pattern Design

Created for the GCC Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, this series of contemporary

Arabesque designs was developed from the Arabic phrase “One Gulf”.

Each stroke, curve, and structural detail of the calligraphy was carefully studied

and abstracted into a refined visual language that balanced cultural heritage with

modern design expression. Designed for versatility across branding, print,

spatial graphics, and architectural applications, the resulting pattern system became

a contemporary interpretation of regional identity within the Expo environment.
