Osaka Expo 2025 – Lina Ghotmeh — Osaka Expo 2025 – Lina Ghotmeh
2025
Bahrain’s Connecting Seas pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, organized by the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities, reflects the Kingdom’s maritime heritage and role as a historic crossroads of trade and culture. Designed by Lina Ghotmeh, the sustainable wooden structure draws on traditional dhow building and Japanese joinery, using 3,000 unengineered wooden pieces and passive cooling. Spanning four levels along the seafront, it embodies themes of coexistence, craftsmanship, and cultural exchange with minimal environmental impact.
