Centred around the theme of connection, Japan s Pavilion for Expo 2020 Dubai unfolds a geometrical 3D lattice inspired by the commonalities of traditional Japanese and Arabic patterns. Designed by Yuko Nagayama and Associates, the project uncovers through different architectural means the cultural similarities between Japan and the Middle East.
The tridimensional façade combines Arabesque and Asanoha patterns while also referencing the traditional Japanese art of Origami. The structure enveloping the pavilion is also a reference to the Japanese art of Origata gift wrapping. As Nagayama describes it: in terms of the cultural connection, I took my starting point from the similarities we can see between Middle Eastern and Japanese geometrical patterns, and explored this across a facade that is a new kind of geometrical 3D lattice serving as the structure and environmental filter.
