![]()
The emblem of Expo 2025 Osaka, the Grand Ring is the world’s largest wooden structure and a symbol of the enduring relevance of Japanese traditions of building with natural materials.Every five years, a different city hosts the Expo. Paris 1900 is often cited as one of the most decisive in the history of Parisian architecture, leaving behind the Grand Palais, the Palais de Tokyo and an indelible Art Deco legacy in the capital. After Dubai in 2021 (postponed by a year due to the pandemic in 2020), Osaka was chosen to host this international cultural event in 2025. To house the pavilions of the many countries exhibiting there until October, Japan has worked hard. The focal point of its Expo district is the Grand Ring, a gigantic 61-square-kilometre structure that is set to make history at Expo 2025 Osaka.
