The Women’s Pavilion, an Expo2025 大阪・関西万博 Osaka, Kansai, Japan exhibit, will offer visitors insights into themes of equality and respect, encouraging individuals to realise their potential for a brighter future. Collaborating with Yuko Nagayama & Associates, we are responsible for providing structural, environmental, and facade consulting services. Prioritising circularity in materials, the Pavilion will reuse steel and membrane materials from the Japan Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, aligning with its forward-looking themes and considering the temporary nature of the structure.
To address the challenges of reusing Expo 2020 Dubai’s facade materials, our proposal includes cataloguing components and utilising computational modelling for geometric analysis and structural assessment. This approach enables the reuse of approximately 98% of the Pavilion's lattice facade, paired with extensive use of recycled materials in the main building, minimising carbon emissions and ensuring the Pavilion's sustainability beyond Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan.
