00:04 What surprises us the most when we arrive in Dubai
00:07 is the architecture of a city in perpetual transformation
00:09 with its huge towers at the gates of the desert.
00:12 The second is the light.
00:14 White and raw in the morning, it never ceases to evolve throughout the day
00:17 with increasingly ocher tones
00:19 offering spectacular reflections on the buildings.
00:21 And here at the exhibition, on the pavilions,
00:23 we were thinking precisely about playing with the elements.
00:25 Architecture and light, it's a bit like the heart of the Dubai 2020 exhibition.
00:29 It's the same as what we traditionally see in universal exhibitions.
00:32 This exhibition is doubly marked by architecture and light.
00:36 By architecture because it's an exhibition dedicated to the city,
00:39 the smart city, the city of the aura,
00:41 so architecture is obviously at the heart of the subject.
00:43 Light because traditionally the Middle East
00:45 plays a lot, especially on the contrasts of light,
00:48 on nightlife, which is very, very bright.
00:51 On our pavilion, we have a solar production,
00:54 the whole roof and rear facade,
00:56 which is oriented to the south of the pavilion, is covered with solar tiles.
00:59 So we produce light and then of course we also diffuse it
01:03 in this lighting, both day and night.
01:05 Light is also the means,
01:07 when it is driven intelligently,
01:10 to facilitate urban life.
01:12 And all the work today on smart urban lighting,
01:15 on personalized urban lighting,
01:17 is also one of the challenges of the city's development.
01:20 Indeed, light has always been a source of inspiration for man.
01:23 We think of the century of light
01:25 and the famous Encyclopedia of Diderot de Lambert,
01:27 whose originals can be found here.
01:30 And this sharing of knowledge and knowledge
01:32 is precisely the spirit of the universal exhibitions
01:34 since their very first edition.
