Bahrain Polytechnic hosted Expo Milano Bahrain ambassadors on 31st March 2015 at their Isa Town campus in a seminar discussion with students about the 2000sqm self-built Bahrain Pavilion and its objectives within the Expo.

The ambassadors, Ms. Reem Al Mealla and Mr. Ahmed Taleb, appointed by the Bahrain Authority for Culture & Antiquities (BACA) in order to help raise awareness of the importance of the agricultural sector, nutrition and sustainable development in Bahrain, discussed local agriculture and environmental practice in addition to the Pavilion’s design and structure.

Entitled Archaeologies of Green, the Bahrain Pavilion examines the rich agrarian heritage of the country and is conceived as a continuous landscape of fruit gardens that each contain a dominant fruit tree that is native to Bahrain and are intersected by a series of closed spaces that contain in turn a reception area, exhibition spaces and a café serving local Bahraini food.

A Marine & Conservation Biologist, Reem Al Mealla focused on biodiversity and the changes undergone by the environment in different parts of the world. She also reflected on the imbalance in the ecosystem, directly affecting living organisms and which threatens agricultural stability and the conservation of natural resources.
