According to Ghotmeh, the 10,700-square-foot structure is a testament to “sustainable innovation.” The pavilion is naturally cooled by the sea breeze, while staff and volunteers attending to the pavilion during the event wore uniforms inspired by coastal motifs designed by Bahraini fashion designer Lulwa Al Ameen.
