Brazilian Pavilion Expo Osaka

Honorable Mention – National Architecture Competition

The theme of Expo 2025 emphasizes the urgent need to place life at the center of discussions about the paths to human development. This concept must be understood not only in its everyday dimension but, above all, as a fundamental condition for the existence of all species. The pursuit of a better life is a transversal and inexorably communal activity: to save, empower, and connect our lives, it is necessary to treat all forms of life equally.

The Brazilian pavilion is located in the thematic district Empowering Lives. The extraordinary diversity of biomes and species that coexist within the national territory positions Brazil as a key player in the international discussion on land management for the preservation of life, both in the present and in the future.

The primary objective of the Brazilian pavilion’s design is to present the image of a country that seeks not just a new path through the land but a new way of walking on it—a sovereign nation, a protagonist in the management, fertilization, and stewardship of its natural resources.
