Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka opens

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Pavilion for Expo 2025 Osaka has opened to the public.

Designed by Foster + Partners and located on the Yumeshima waterfront, the Pavilion creates a spatial experience that echoes the exploration of Saudi Arabian towns and cities, while providing a setting for immersive engagement that connects visitors with the undiscovered wonders of the Kingdom.

“We are delighted to see the Saudi Pavilion open to the public and ready to welcome its first visitors on an epic journey of new discovery. The project is a celebration of Saudi Arabian culture, evoking the wonderful streetscapes and captivating natural landscapes that define the Kingdom. Every element has been carefully considered to create a one-of-a-kind experience that is highly sustainable and accessible to everyone.” Luke Fox, Head of Studio at Foster + Partners.

The highly sustainable and inclusive Pavilion has been designed with its legacy in mind as the project aims to achieve the Japanese green building rating system’s highest level (CASBEE S) and will be net zero operational carbon.
