China Pavillion

 

 

Osaka Expo 2025

 

Inspired by ancient bamboo scrolls, the China Pavilion stands out with its flowing, poetic form, an architectural metaphor for wisdom unfolding.

Designed by China Architecture Design & Research Group (CADG) under renowned architect Li Xinggang, the structure seamlessly blends traditional aesthetics with modern engineering.

Built by CSCEC, it features over 3,000 m² of curved steel, intricately prefabricated using digital modeling techniques. Every curve and shadow tells a story of heritage, innovation, and the power of design.
