"The pavilion, designed for Saudi Arabia's Expo presence in Osaka, is at once about spatial storytelling and placemaking - guiding visitors through a space that blurs the line between exhibition and lived environment."
"By day, it offers respite and reflection; by night, it becomes a performance venue pulsing with light, music, and activity."
The Saudi Arabia Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, designed by Foster + Partners, focuses on creating an intimate exploration of Saudi cultural identity. Unlike typical exhibitions, it features winding alleys, courtyards, and ambient passages that provide a layered, immersive journey reflecting the essence of Saudi towns. This pavilion is a celebration of Saudi culture, intertwining architectural storytelling with functionality. The central Saudi Courtyard serves as both a tranquil space and a vibrant performance venue, integrating the sights and sounds of Saudi urban life into the visitor experience.
