temporary 3D printed structures transform into a forest after use at expo 2025 osaka
Briefly

At Expo 2025 Osaka, Takenaka Corporation introduces 'Architecture that Becomes a Forest', featuring 3D printed structures from plant-based resin that will transform into a forest after use.
The pavilion at the Expo will allow children to attach Seed Paper to its surfaces, nurturing the growth of plants, thereby creating a strong connection between people and nature.
This project promotes sustainable building design by using biodegradable materials that decompose and replenish the soil, reflecting a shift towards shared experiences and ecological sustainability.
Takenaka's design embodies a vision of architecture that leaves a positive environmental legacy, turning temporary structures into a harmonious continuation of nature on the Expo site.
