The Switzerland Pavilion at EXPO 2025 Osaka explored the themes of “Life”, “Planet”, and “Augmented Human”, presenting a vision of a sustainable and forward-looking society.

Designed as one of the most environmentally conscious pavilions at the Expo, the structure combined lightweight architecture with an immersive exhibition concept. Through the programme “Vitality.Swiss”, visitors were invited to engage with ideas around health, sustainability, and human potential.

The pavilion’s identity was defined by its distinctive bubble architecture, creating a soft and atmospheric environment that shaped the overall visitor experience.

BeWunder delivered the multimedia and lighting systems for the pavilion, with a particular focus on the integration of lighting as a defining element of the architectural and spatial experience.

The lighting systems were developed to enhance and animate the pavilion’s characteristic bubble structures, creating a dynamic and atmospheric environment that guided visitors through the space.

The scope also included the integration of audio systems, video systems, projection, media servers and playback, show control systems, and event IT networks, ensuring all systems operated together as one coordinated technical environment.

All elements were carefully integrated to support the pavilion’s immersive and lightweight design approach, maintaining a cohesive and balanced visitor experience.
