he Bahrain Pavilion is designed by the Lebanese French architect Lina Ghotmeh with her Paris based studio Lina Ghotmeh—Architecture and is located in the "Empowering Lives" area facing the sea.

The design draws inspiration from traditional Bahraini dhow boats, reinterpreting millennial boat building techniques that showcase Bahrain’s rich craftsmanship and manufacturing heritage, alongside Japanese wood artistry- in a celebration of the bilateral relations between both countries.

The pavilion will be constructed out of wood, with an outer structure made of aluminum, aligning with Bahrain's vision to promote sustainability, and will be fully recycled after the Expo.

The interior design and exhibition will be led by the Bahraini design studio Shepherd Studio, with the Artistic direction of Lina Ghotmeh offering an immersive experience for visitors highlighting Bahrain’s rich maritime, logistical and natural resources. Additionally, Bahrain's participation in the Expo will include a dedicated business space to promote Bahrain's competitiveness regionally and globally as a forward-looking economy, investment, and business destination for visitors from all over the world.

Henning Larsen just released the images from the new Opera House design in Jeddah, inspired by the Rhythm of Al-Balad. Located on the Red Sea waterfront, the project is part of the wider Jeddah Central Masterplan. The building program consists of three performance spaces: the 150-seat Rehearsal Hall, the mid-scale 750-seat Playhouse Theatre, and the 1500-seat opera Red Sea Theatre. These flexible spaces will host world-class touring theaters and orchestras, as well as other commercial events, community education, and outreach programs.

The design’s material selection is driven by the local elements, such as coral stone and wood. The facade is made of solid stone with intricate window detailing in the form of multi-layered Mashrabiyas that create traditional Roshans and serve as a natural climate barrier. The Roshans provide a preview of the activities inside for visitors from the approach. These individual public spaces in each foyer present themselves on the external expression of the facade. Also, for the landscape, local plantations are included in the design to provide microclimate and improve biodiversity, water management, and air purification.
