A garden of knowledge, built for the future. ✨

The Uzbekistan Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka takes its place among the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 winners, presenting a spatial vision of transformation and growth.

Blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary, sustainable design, the pavilion brings Uzbekistan’s cultural heritage into a modern architectural language. Natural materials such as clay, brick and regional timber root the structure in place, while its open and transparent design invites exchange, accessibility and dialogue.

Designed as a modular and reusable system, the pavilion reflects a forward-looking approach to circular construction.

An architecture that connects heritage, knowledge and what comes next.

A garden of knowledge, built for the future. ✨

The Uzbekistan Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka takes its place among the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026 winners, presenting a spatial vision of transformation and growth.

Blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary, sustainable design, the pavilion brings Uzbekistan’s cultural heritage into a modern architectural language. Natural materials such as clay, brick and regional timber root the structure in place, while its open and transparent design invites exchange, accessibility and dialogue.

Designed as a modular and reusable system, the pavilion reflects a forward-looking approach to circular construction.

An architecture that connects heritage, knowledge and what comes next.
