With a diameter of 43 meters, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/temporary-pavilions\/\">pavilion<\/a><\/strong> establishes a spatial framework where themes of life, ecology, and the interconnection between humanity and nature are explored.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The ammonite form serves as both architectural reference and symbolic gesture, linking the micro- and macro-scale dimensions of natural systems. Visitors are guided along a spiraling path that evokes continuity and cyclical movement, while the geometry reinforces the concept of humanity as part of a broader ecological context.<\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedesignlabo.co.jp\/\">the design labo Inc.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">design labo integrates sustainability with Cultural Context<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For the design labo <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedesignlabo.co.jp\/\">studio<\/a><\/strong>, environmental performance is integral to the design. The pavilion employs a water-based cooling system in which a thin film flows across the roof surface, promoting evaporative cooling and reducing the need for air-conditioning. Rainwater, collected alongside the rooftop water, is reused within the building for non-potable functions, reducing reliance on external resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Following the Expo, the pavilion is scheduled to be dismantled and reassembled on Awaji Island, a site recognized as one of Japan\u2019s important ammonite fossil beds. This relocation extends the life of the structure and establishes a continuity between form, place, and geological history. Through its material strategy, environmental systems, and symbolic geometry, the PASONA NATUREVERSE Pavilion integrates sustainability with cultural and ecological reference, presenting architecture as a medium that bridges natural history and contemporary design practice.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>the PASONA NATUREVERSE Pavilion stands as a 43-meter ammonite-inspired spiral<\/p>\n<p>designed by the design labo Inc. for Expo 2025 Osaka<\/p>\n<p>the spiral form guides visitors through cyclical pathways<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>architecture and ecology converge in a symbolic ammonite shape<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the design emphasizes ecological awareness through spatial form<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the ammonite form creates continuity between past and present<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the spiraling geometry recalls continuity and natural cycles<\/p>\n<p>after the Expo, the pavilion will be dismantled and relocated<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0PASONA NATUREVERSE<br \/>\n<strong>architect:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedesignlabo.co.jp\/\">the design labo Inc. \/ Satoshi Itasaka<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itasaka.satoshi\/\">@itasaka.satoshi<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> Expo 2025 Osaka, Japan<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>client:<\/strong> Pasona Group Inc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>design supervision:<\/strong> Maeda Corporation First-Class Architects Office<\/p>\n<p><strong>construction:<\/strong> Maeda Corporation<\/p>\n<p><strong>site area:<\/strong> 3,514.42 sqm<\/p>\n<p><strong>building area:<\/strong> 2,263.83 sqm<\/p>\n<p><strong>total floor area:<\/strong> 2,457.70 sqm<\/p>\n<p><strong>structure:<\/strong> Steel structure<\/p>\n<p><strong>floors:<\/strong> 2 (above ground)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/spiral-shell-shaped-pavilion-expo-2025-osaka-architecture-ecology-design-labo-09-24-2025\/\">spiral shell-shaped pavilion for expo 2025 osaka bridges architecture and ecology<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ammonite-Inspired Spiral Shapes Pavilion for Expo 2025 Osaka \u00a0 The PASONA NATUREVERSE Pavilion, designed by the design labo Inc. for Expo 2025 Osaka, is conceived as a spiral structure inspired by the form of an &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
