Ecomagination Center in Masdar City
In 2008, Masdar City broke ground and embarked on a journey to become the world’s most sustainable city. Imagination were briefed to create a permanent home and to bring to life in a relevant, contextual way – ecomagination; a sub-brand of GE that seeks to build innovative solutions for today’s environmental problems, while driving economic growth.
The environment is the most enduring and significant narrative of our time, and the task of balancing growth and leaving a better planet for future generations perhaps the most important imperative for governments, businesses and communities.
Planning & Execution
Rather than simply play lip service to this story, or use it as a vehicle for displaying and trying to sell products, we sought to embrace and use this narrative as the foundation of our visitor journey.
