A graphic façade inspired by the multicoloured fabrics of the Otavalo region in Ecuador was designed in order to ensure a great impact and visibility and to transmit the country's environment and cultural heritage.

The innovative KriskaDECOR panelling system using anodised aluminium curtains where the fabrics depicted become multiple colour chains, means that the frontage reflects the colour range and variety characteristic of a bio-diverse country such as Ecuador.

The visitor becomes captivated by the façade’s great visual impact, which manages to frame the construction with a strong, chromatic emphasis that makes it stand out from the other pavilions.The effect of the sun and the wind heighten the sensation of movement, reflecting the identity of a country in constant innovation as stated in the pavilion's claim, “Ecuador Discover Our Evolution”.

The building is 1000 m2 divided into three floors. The ground floor has been designed as a free-flowing and open space that presents its “good living” concept to the visitors and also showcases the variety of its agri-food production and its rich biodiversity by means of activity areas, zones for show-cooking and performances.
