China National pavilion - renderings of the design proposals.

The architectural design of the China Pavilion is inspired by the concept of "Chinese Scroll." Its exterior is shaped like a traditional Chinese scroll, incorporating three main elements: bamboo, Chinese characters, and scrolls. Through these elements, it showcases the spirit and essence of Chinese civilization, emphasizing the harmonious unity of nature and humanity. This design interprets the core concept of China's unwavering commitment to sustainable development in the new era.


The façade of the building is adorned with inscriptions of poetry, depicting the poetic imagery of mountains and rivers on the elegant and gentle scrolls. This harmonizes seamlessly with the garden landscape of ink pools and bamboo shadows in front of the pavilion, providing visitors with a unique and immersive viewing experience.


Bamboo is a representative element of Chinese civilization. Chinese people admire, cultivate, and love bamboo. Additionally, bamboo serves as a renewable ecological building material, reflecting the value orientation of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, as well as the development direction of contemporary architectural technology.

Chinese characters are a cultural treasure of the Chinese nation and one of the oldest surviving writing systems in the world. Whether in poetry, prose, or calligraphy, they spread the rich information and unique charm of Chinese civilization to the world.

Scrolls represent an inexhaustible treasure trove of ideas, symbolizing China's cultural soft power of "observing humanity to enlighten the world" and reflecting the deep and enduring cultural confidence of the Chinese nation.

This new Spain pavilion looks like a carbon copy of the Israel pavilion at Dubai Expo 2020.

The Spain Embassy in Tokyo says its pavilion at next year's expo in western Japan will feature sustainable technology using marine resources. It will also draw inspiration from an ocean current that has connected the two countries for centuries.

The embassy says the pavilion's concept will be based on the Kuroshio Current in the Pacific Ocean. The warm-water current normally flows from southwest to northeast along the southern coast of the Japanese archipelago.

The pavilion will feature technology that can preserve historic remains on the seafloor. It will also showcase a technology that produces fuel and medicine from algae and other marine resources to help realize a sustainable society.

The architect who designed the pavilion, Nestor Montenegro, says the cultures of Japan and Spain have been historically connected through the oceans. He adds that he wants to convey the importance of protecting the oceans.

Qatar on Tuesday laid the foundation stone for its pavilion at EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, aiming to further fortify the comprehensive strategic bilateral partnership, which has been flourishing for more than 50 years.

The pavilion was collaboratively designed by Qatar Museums and Kengo Kuma and Associates after extensive visits to Doha by the designers.

The pavilion’s design is inspired by a fusion of Qatari and Japanese cultures, particularly the shared elements such as the wood used in the building of traditional dhows, the wood used in the construction of traditional Japanese houses and the fabric used in their interiors. The total area of the pavilion is estimated at 1,292sqm.
