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.
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.
