The design by architect Lina Ghotmeh draws inspiration from the traditional dhow boats of Bahrain, reinterpreting millennial boat-building techniques to showcase the nation's craftsmanship and manufacturing heritage at Expo 2025 Osaka.
By focusing on the country's maritime history, the pavilion highlights Bahrain's strategic geographic location as a maritime crossroads in the Gulf Region and celebrates the bilateral relationship between Bahrain and Japan.
The pavilion's structure reinterprets heritage boat-building techniques, featuring a wooden structure with an outer aluminum layer. It is designed for easy disassembly and recycling after the Expo, incorporating ancient cooling techniques to reduce reliance on mechanical cooling methods.
