The theme “Digging in the Past for future nourishment” was inspired by the pomegranate, nar in Turkish, and works as the foundation to the entire architectural project of the pavilion. The entrance is decorated with the modern interpretation of the “Selcuk Star” and the traditional Çesm-i Bülbül glass art, both indispensable to the aesthetics of the country’s exhibition. 

The structure is composed of three main bodies both indoors and outdoors, for a total size of four thousand square meters. The area is not limited to events and workshops but to the actual recreation of a Turkish atmosphere including a restaurant with traditional Turkish cuisine and an enogastronomic boutique. An authentic and experimental space that allows visitors to enjoy Turkish tea or coffee under an Ottoman fountain.

The caravanserais vaults inspired the creation of a space to host exhibitions and workshops. The pavilion ends with a  library containing digital and paper books on food and nutrition in Turkish history, on agricultural politics, and worldwide aid programs for nourishment suggestions.
