Details
The German Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka is a built manifesto for circular architecture. Designed as a material repository, its seven cylindrical structures integrate bio-based and recycled materials, modular timber systems, and a reusable steel foundation—eliminating concrete and enabling full disassembly. From rammed earth to mycelium, every element supports a cradle-to-cradle strategy. The pavilion sets a new benchmark for scalable, adaptive architecture that unites material innovation, ecological intelligence, and fully regenerative design.
