Pavilion Fav!

An exquisite pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai world expo is now in UAE. A true masterpiece of futuristic structure built in Saadiyat Island. The overwhelming shape which enhances the bronze effect and the wide glass entrance are just a breathtaking experience.

                What’s inside? A dynamic view of photographs, taken in 1950’s and late 40’s by Ronald Codrai himself. He was a traveler throughout Arab countries during his time and served the Royal Air during the Second World War. Taking photographs considered as his hobby and become his virtual aspect in his life. His son Justin is the one who is taking care of his precious collections and works under ADACH (Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage) when he died May of 2000.

                Back to pavilion, it’s all about the UAE how they started, what’s their past, a history in the making, and how they developed a wide range of boosting their economy and industry throughout Seven Emirates.
               The main entrance will welcome you with the picture story collection of Ronald Codrai, His short portfolio, how he started the gift of being a historic photographer, his passion of sharing the world his works and the ability to creat a magnificient views of the past, which insites the inner core of the history.

                You might not know him, but if you are based in Dubai or you’ve been to Dubai and hit the metro, u have seen his works, those photos which are displayed in a metro station walls are his works.
