Switzerland has recently revealed its Pavilion for Expo Osaka 2025 in Kansai. In line with the Expo's overall theme, "Designing the Future Society for Our Lives," the pavilion aims to minimize environmental impact with a lightweight membrane design that allows for speedy construction and strengthens bilateral relations between Switzerland and Japan. The pavilion’s exhibitions will center around three main themes in consecutive order: Augmented Human (robotics, AI, AR/VR); Life (life sciences, education, health, nutrition); and Planet (environment, sustainability, climate, energy).
The pavilion will feature four lightweight, interconnected spheres, creating a space to showcase Swiss innovation. Visitors will explore an interactive and educational playground showcasing Swiss creativity. The pavilion's rooftop offers views of the Expo, serving as a venue for gathering at the festival. The exhibition structure for Osaka will be the lightest ever built by Switzerland for a World Expo.
