AquaPra\u00e7a, the <strong>floating cultural plaza<\/strong> designed by CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati and H\u00f6weler + Yoon, becomes one of the landmarks of the UN Climate Change Conference COP30 in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/tag\/belem\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bel\u00e9m<\/a>, Brazil. Following its unveiling in Venice in September during the Biennale Architettura 2025 in partnership with Italy&#8217;s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Italy&#8217;s Ministry of Environment and Energy Security, and COP30 Presidency, AquaPra\u00e7a now serves as an integral part of the Italian Pavilion at COP30, the UN Climate Change Conference. AquaPra\u00e7a was made possible through a unique international coalition, including the Italian Agency for Development and Cooperation, CIHEAM Bari, and the World Bank Group&#8217;s Connect4Climate program, and with the support of BF International \u2013 Member of BF S.p.A. Group (as AquaPra\u00e7a COP30 Naming Partner), Bloomberg Philanthropies, Costa Crociere, ENEL, and Gruppo Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane. <strong>AquaPra\u00e7a was constructed by an Italian leading advanced steel construction Company<\/strong>, Cimolai. <strong>After COP30, Aquapraca will be donated by Italy to Brazil to become a community space for promoting social engagement on climate, cultural strategy, and creative industries<\/strong> in partnership with the State of Par\u00e0 of Brazil.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/loader-blue.gif\" alt=\"Content Loader\" style=\"width: 40px; margin: 24px;\"\/><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a9 Leonardo Finotti + 5 Share Share Facebook Twitter Mail Pinterest Whatsapp Or https:\/\/www.archdaily.com\/1036829\/aquapraca-floating-plaza-carlo-ratti-associati-plus-howeler-plus-yoon-architecture \u00a9 Leonardo Finotti Text&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":626953,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3939],"tags":[4023,4021,4020,170053,13427,4022,77,6084,33112,3695,16651,16,15],"class_list":["post-626952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-architecture","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-belem","tag-cultural-architecture","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-infrastructure","tag-pier","tag-sustainability","tag-transportation","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115702799040629940","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
