Each nation presents its interpretation, such as the Dutch pavilion's suspended town model and the Israeli pavilion's exploration of kibbutz living. The Czech and Slovak pavilions focus on natural elements. The exhibition emphasizes architecture's role in improving lives, especially during economic austerity, showcasing that less can be more.
