At Expo 2020 in Dubai, Cartier launched its Women's Pavilion to highlight women's roles in society, attracting over 340,000 visitors. Architect Yuko Nagayama designed the Japan Pavilion, linking Japanese and Arabic architectural styles. Now, for Expo 2025 in Osaka, she repurposes parts of her Dubai design for the Women's Pavilion, focusing on sustainability and adaptability. The structure uses traditional Japanese aesthetics, symbolizing empowerment through architecture. The installation illustrates a commitment to reusing materials innovatively, showcasing how architecture can evolve and thrive across different contexts.
The new Women's Pavilion ingeniously repurposes parts of the lattice-like façade created for Dubai, showcasing Cartier's commitment to female empowerment and sustainability.
Nagayama emphasizes that no one had ever attempted reuse on this grand scale, demonstrating the potential of architecture to adapt between expos.
