About the Project

Overview The Japan Pavilion will serve as the base for the host country to present the theme of the 2020 Osaka-Kansai Expo, "Designing a Future Society for Our Lives," and will embody this theme and communicate Japan's initiatives.
Under the theme of "Between Life and Life," the Expo will utilize biogas power generation using food waste from within the Expo site and cutting-edge Japanese technology that can contribute to the world, to create a cycle and encourage visitors to change their behavior toward a sustainable society.
Issues/Themes We want participants to understand that they too are part of the "cycle" and gain ideas about what they can do to contribute to a sustainable society.
To create a design that can be understood intuitively, rather than through logical explanations.
Space Solution/Realization As the person in charge of exhibition design, construction, and operation, I had numerous discussions with the general producer from the planning and design stages, repeatedly collating ideas and designs to solve problems. We created a unique flow of visitors and an emotional design that embodied the concept of a "living pavilion," resulting in the realization of the groundbreaking Japan Pavilion.
