Graphic production and installation work on two national pavilions at Expo Zaragoza 2008: Russia and the Sultanate of Oman. Unical Graphic fabricated and installed the graphic finishes, the exhibition panels and the interior fit-out elements, coordinating with each pavilion's site management through the phases leading up to opening.

The challenge

Each pavilion answered to its own design, with different finishing standards and deadlines interlocked with the other trades on site. We had to produce from artwork supplied from abroad, adjust dimensions against structures already erected, and not compromise the opening date of the site.

Our solution

We worked from a prior site survey and set every piece out before producing. The large surfaces were resolved with tensioned banner and with printed textile on frames, and the exhibition panels in rigid material such as aluminium composite and foam PVC, with edges and joints worked out so the lines stayed aligned. Smaller lettering was executed in cut vinyl and frosted vinyl on glass. Our own team travelled to Zaragoza for the installation, working in phases and adjusting on site as the other trades progressed.
