O presente estudo propõe-se a analisar pavilhões expositivos nacionais na Exposição Mundial ocorrida em 2015, na cidade de Milão (Itália). Faz uma leitura geral dos pavilhões da Expo 2015 e se atém a quatro pavilhões nacionais representativos da diversidade arquitetônica presente no evento: Áustria, Holanda, Emirados Árabes e Brasil. Pretende responder a questão central da pesquisa: existe ainda espaço, atualmente, para a investigação arquitetônica nesses eventos? Sua metodologia baseia-se em pesquisa de campo, pesquisa em fontes primárias diversas e pesquisa bibliográfica referente a cada um dos casos analisados e ao contexto histórico do evento. / This current research aims to analise national pavilions, focused on the World Exhibition that took place in Milan (Italy), in 2015. It gives a general reading of the Expo 2015 pavilions and keeps to four national pavilions that represent the diversity found in the event: Austria, the Netherlands, United Arab Emirates and Brazil. The intention is to answer to the main question of the research: Is there still space for experimental architecture at this kind of event? It\'s methodology is based on field research, primary sources, and bibliographic research related to each of the four pavilions and to the historical context of the event.

La ricerca si propone di esplorare e approfondire secondo una prospettiva pedagogica la tematica alimentare, traendo spunto dalla molteplicità delle sollecitazioni offerte dall’esposizione universale Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life, in stretta connessione con la Lettera Enciclica di Papa Francesco, Laudato si’. La riflessione pedagogica è chiamata ad offrire un’interpretazione complessa del rapporto tra visioni antropologiche ed emergenze educative per elaborare nuove reti di conoscenza e azione nella prospettiva del bene comune e della sostenibilità della vita. Educazione, ricerca e formazione rappresentano strumenti significativi per garantire l’equità e il riconoscimento del diritto fondamentale a un’alimentazione sana, sicura e sufficiente per l’intera umanità. Il principale obiettivo della ricerca è di individuare l’eredità educativa di Expo 2015 di fronte alle sfide alimentari del pianeta, attraverso un approccio sistemico ai problemi sociali, culturali, economici e ambientali. La tesi offre una recensione critica di contributi peculiari sulla cultura alimentare tra tradizione e innovazione, per generare prospettive euristiche nel segno dello sviluppo umano tra passato e futuro. Emblematica è l’esigenza di educare al “benessere sostenibile” per promuovere la qualità della vita e diffondere best practices di alimentazione in ambito familiare, scolastico e delle comunità su scala locale e globale, nell’orizzonte della sostenibilità. Una “pedagogia del benessere” raccoglie la sfida di individuare e “progettare” competenze alimentari, nell’epoca del diritto al cibo tra cura educativa e ecologia integrale, tra stili di vita e custodia del creato. / The research intends to explore and analyze nutrition from a pedagogical point of view, inspired by the universal exposition Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life, in close connection with the Encyclical Letter of Pope Francis, Laudato si'. Pedagogical research offers a complex interpretation of the relationship between anthropological concepts and educational challenges to develop new networks of knowledge and action in the prospect of the common good and sustainability of life. Education, research and training are important tools to ensure equity and the recognition of the fundamental right to healthy, safe and sufficient nutrition for the entire humanity. The main aim of the research is to identify the educational heritage of Expo 2015 in face of the food challenges of the planet through a systemic approach to social, cultural, economic and environmental issues. The thesis offers a critical review of peculiar contributions to food culture between tradition and innovation, to generate heuristic prospects for human development between past and future. The need to educate “sustainable well-being” to promote quality of life and to disseminate best practices of nutrition in family, school and community on a local and global scale is emblematic. A “pedagogy of well-being” raises the challenge of identifying and "designing" food skills in an era of the “right to food”: in educational care and integral ecology, lifestyles and environmental protection.

This diploma thesis deals with the national presentation of the Czech Republic at EXPO 2010 in Shanghai in terms of mythology, symbols, signs and codes. It describes the history of the World Exhibitions, attempts to highlight Czechoslovak achievements and on the basis of that to define key points of successful communication for an international, predominately Chinese audience. By comparing information on traditional Chinese symbols and values with that of Czech explains correlations between Czech and Chinese culture. This can help visitors from China identify with the Czech Republic. A mythological analysis is executed examining the exterior of the Czech pavilion, the exhibition inside, and notes narrative structures of individual exhibits and how they work to provide the preferred interpretation. Part of the overall analysis includes an overview of supporting events, which also help to strengthen the perception of Czech Republic to visitors. The information gleaned is used to summarize learnings that could be useful for the upcoming EXPO in Milan in 2015.
