Czech Republic Pavillion - Osaka Expo 2025

Shortlisted in the Czech Republic pavillion competition for Osaka Expo 2025

Designed by SAFFARIAN Architectural Design and HÜNE Architects

Reminiscent of the archetypal panorama of Czech castles and Prague, the pavilion is inspired by the creative spirit of a children ‘s game - the construction of a building from a deck of cards, symbolizing the delicate balance of the future. The whole building is made from repeating timber modules with rearrangeable joinery details and logistically feasible timber member sizes. After the expo the building can be disassembled and transported to different locations, be modified, and reused under a different context.
