"Sounding Forest” is a finalist proposal for the Latvian Pavilion in Expo Dubai 2020, designed by Malitis Architects. The project was granted the 1st prize in the first phase of a national competition in Latvia. The interactive installation puts in place an artificial forest made of piano strings, generating a playful dialogue between the installation and the visitors.

The Latvian Pavilion is a sound experience, a string instrumental music, that offers an immersive and sensitive experience in the Latvian nature. In fact, the smart forest has a very humane approach, depicting a philanthropic future through a joint venture between creative minds, technology, and nature in one unique building. It translates the Latvian sound and identity, with the help of an artificial system. The pavilion is a vibrating interactive and cooperative ecosystem, growing through people’s creativity.

176 musical strings hang from the canopy: 88 aluminum rods are controlled by the visitors and another 88, controlled by a computer, answer to what is happening. In other words, some strings resonate when they are activated, others mysteriously respond to visitors from afar. The sounding forest is in fact an instrument in itself, a place where people can hear music in a Latvian landscape.

A serpentine wooden path welcomes and leads the visitors toward the top and the core of this pavilion. It also plays the role of exhibition space and generates an amphitheater and a stage. The Latvian competition consisted of 2 phases, “Sounding Forest" was selected as the winner of the first phase of the National Competition. However, after the 2nd phase, another great proposal was selected to be built in Dubai in 2020.

“森林之声”是2020年迪拜世博会拉脱维亚馆的最终方案，由Malitis Architects设计。该项目在拉脱维亚国家比赛第一阶段获得一等奖。互动装置放置了一个由钢琴弦组成的人工林，在装置和游客之间产生了有趣的对话。

拉脱维亚馆是一种声音体验，一种弦乐器乐，提供了一种身临其境和敏感的拉脱维亚自然体验。事实上，智慧森林有一个非常人性化的方法，通过在一个独特的建筑中，创造性思维、技术和自然之间的合资企业，描绘了一个慈善的未来。在人造系统的帮助下，它翻译了拉脱维亚语的发音和身份。展馆是一个充满活力的互动与合作的生态系统，通过人们的创造力不断成长。

176根琴弦悬挂在天篷上:88根铝棒由游客控制，另外88根由电脑控制，回答正在发生的事情。换句话说，当一些弦被激活时，它们会产生共鸣，而另一些弦则会神秘地回应远处的来访者。发声的森林本身就是一种乐器，人们可以在拉脱维亚的风景中听到音乐。

一条蜿蜒的木制小路欢迎并引导游客走向展馆的顶部和核心。它还发挥了展览空间的作用，产生了一个圆形剧场和一个舞台。拉脱维亚的比赛分为两个阶段，“森林之声”被选为国家比赛第一阶段的冠军。然而，在第二阶段之后，另一个伟大的提议被选中于2020年在迪拜建造。
