Foster + Partners has revealed the concept art for Saudi Arabia's pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. The design incorporates traditional Saudi Arabian architectural elements with a central 'Saudi Courtyard' for reflection and events, surrounded by immersive streets. Emphasizing sustainability, the pavilion uses low carbon materials and is designed for future deconstruction and reassembly.
Foster + Partners has released concept images of its design for the pavilion for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at Expo 2025, taking place in Osaka, Japan.
The pavilion will be located on the Yumeshima waterfront, and has been designed to create a ‘spatial experience that echoes the exploration of Saudi Arabian towns and cities,’ according to a release from Foster + Partners.
The pavilion has taken inspiration from the organic textures and shapes of traditional Saudi villages, and will be built around a central courtyard - called the 'Saudi Courtyard' - which will provide a space for quiet reflection during the day whilst transforming into a venue for performances and events at night.
From the courtyard, visitors will be able to explore a series of meandering 'streets' that will provide entry to a number of immersive spaces.
The pavilion, which will have the ability to be ‘deconstructed and reassembled, or completely reconfigured, to meet different requirements in a future location,’ will also be made from low carbon materials, and feature a host of sustainable features.
