Expo 2015: All Italy''s biodiversity under a roof signed Kopron

Created through the partnership between BolognaFiere and Expo 2015 SpA, in collaboration with Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of the Environment, the park is a huge green space spreading over 8.500 sqm, from the Tree of Life to Door East. During Expo 2015, it will host many initiatives having to do with conservation of the Italian Biodiversity, biological and sustainable agriculture, main tool for ‘nourishing the planet'' without damaging the delicate ecosystem.

Designed by architect Fabio Fornasari, during the six months of Expo 2015 the Biodiversity Park will also host numerous events, special initiatives telling visitors all about the ‘Bio'' world.

Kopron arched tents extend over an area of 3,000 sqm, the carrying structure is in hot-galvanized steel with intumescent coating. The covering is in Class 1, self-extinguishing, white colour fabric with seven inserts in polycarbonate. The structure is bolted to the floor with a chemical anchoring system, it has led lights, and a floating floor layed upon a base in concrete.

The structures are provided with automatic skylights for natural ventilation to reduce use of air conditioning.

Kopron have always used steel for their carrying structures. This material can be re-cycled and used again for other applications guaranteeing environmental sustainability.

The three tents which are in perfect harmony with the ambient created by the Biodiversity Park, give a contribution to the beauty and importance the park deserves.

Modern fixtures of essential design, consist of stratified glass with sliding entrance doors of Kopron production. These doors are silent thanks to Brushless motors with “Energy Saving” technology totally in compliance with the policy of Expo 2015. Brushless motors do not require maintenance.

Kopron manufactured and installed these tents in only 30 days. What an achievement!
