London studio Woo Architects has redeveloped its design for the UK Pavilion at the Expo 2025 Osaka, which will now pay homage to the innovations of English mathematician Ada Lovelace.

The pavilion will be defined by perforated aluminium panels intended to evoke punched cards – a type of card punctured with holes and once commonly used for inputting data to computers.

According to Woo Architects, the new design aligns with the theme Come Build The Future and celebrates the work of Lovelace, who is known as the world's first computer programmer.
