meticulously curated exhibits with themes such as sustainability and cultural exchange displayed in pavilions dedicated to individual countries. This research study uses biophilic or biomimetic design strategies to assess the sustainability practices employed in a group of pavilions at the Dubai Expo 2020 that employ biophilic and/or biomimetic design strategies. Biophilic philosophy emphasizes nature-based concepts to foster positive relationships between humans and living organisms, whereas biomimicry imitates natural processes/systems for building practices. Incorporating biophilic and/or biomimetic techniques into pavilion design provides visitors with a one-of-a-kind experience while displaying explicit sustainability principles that go beyond the event's existing architectural framework guidelines. The research evaluation process includes architectural structure designs, materials used during production/creation periods, energy efficiency measurements implemented, and sustainable water management plans based on natural ecological systems. It will also evaluate the adherence of each pavilion chosen to genuine sustainability values by analyzing the incorporation of nature-based concepts into its overall design for potential future reference applications. These techniques have significant potential to improve human health, reduce environmental impact, and encourage global resiliency when implemented beyond Dubai Expo 2020. In conclusion, the research aims to inspire sustainable designs well beyond the Dubai Expo 2020 by demonstrating how biophilic or biomimetic practices are crucial facilitators in constructing spaces that maximize human welfare without endangering the environment. It is also a foundational resource for architects and urban planners committed to advancing sustainable architectural practices through future development projects prioritizing human welfare and environmental protection.
