How I Rebuilt Facade The Green Arch Belgian Pavilion Expo 2020 Dubai in SketchUp?
SketchUp architecture tutorial demonstrates the detailed modeling process of the Belgian Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. Using reference images, the tutorial guides viewers through creating complex curves and surfaces. Learn essential techniques for facade modeling, including surface manipulation and Boolean operations. In this video, I recreate the iconic pavilion geometry, explain how I interpret reference photos and plans, and show modeling techniques, component workflow.
What you’ll learn:
-How to analyze reference images and set up SketchUp scenes.
-Efficient blocking: rough massing → refined panels → structural details.
-Creating the arch geometry with native SketchUp tools and SketchUp Plugin.
-Working with groups/components, scenes, and layers/tags for organization.
Plugin used:
1. Curviloft (used for creating form shapes)
2. JointPushPull (make surface to solid)
3. Push Line ( transfer line to surface )
📌 Pavilion Info:
The Green Arch was Belgium’s contribution to Expo 2020 Dubai, symbolizing sustainability, circular economy, and innovation.
