Buenos Aires was selected to host the World's Exposition, for the first time since 1851 a Latin American country will have the honour. The event planned to last three months dedicated as a theme to the Creative Industries in the Digital Convergence. 

​​The great Pedestrian Bridge establishes an Urban symbol of integration between the City and the Province of Buenos Aires: "Conceptually it is two pieces embedded in the form of C. Perceptually there is a displacement of the Province towards the City and the City in the Province". ​

​In the Legacy Stage, the proposal consolidate a large Biodiversity Park - Campus of Creativity, whose scale will turn it into a new metropolitan green lung. Each country will have the opportunity to contribute with a piece of landscape for the International Exhibition composing with elements of its own culture and tradition.
