Ines J. Pedras has proposed a wooden pavilion to connect visitors with nature at Expo 2025 OsakaThe Shell proposal involves the creation of a sturdy panel structure that is supported by computational design and digital fabrication techniques. The design is based on a pentagonal module that is present in natural forms like corals or animal shells. This geometric module is then replicated in space as per the construction needs and in conjunction with the exterior facades that are visible from the interior. The interior finishes of the structure are a blend of natural materials that complement the surroundings. Additionally, the proposal explores the various combinations of the module and the artistic shadows that it casts through its apertures.
