Poland Pavilion for the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai. It was designed with the concept of "Poland. Heritage that drives the future." It communicates a vision of sustainable progress and creative innovation, rooted in the historical and cultural heritage of the nation. The architectural design gives visual form to this concept, combining flowing, dynamic façade lines that symbolize creativity, with natural materials that express sustainability and harmony with nature. The result is a fusion of Japan’s tradition with the unique cultural identity of the country the pavilion represents. In the lighting design, the distinctive wooden lattice façade is dramatically illuminated using only uplighting from ground level, in compliance with restrictions on upward light emission. Warm 2700K LED fixtures are used throughout to create a unified and composed nighttime expression. The exact placement of each fixture was determined through 3D simulation to best highlight the intricate shadows and depth of the wooden structure. For the interior exhibition lighting, the balance of light and shadow is precisely adjusted in each zone to enhance the spatial intention of the artists involved. The lighting adds dimensionality and atmosphere, evoking both the tradition and innovation of Poland. In particular, the pavilion’s concert hall features a lighting environment designed to respond to live piano performances and video projections. Light intensity and color temperature are dynamically adjusted to create a multisensory experience, allowing visitors to fully engage with the cultural expression of the nation.
