The Baltic Pavilion at EXPO 2025 Osaka, Japan, under the motto “We Are One,” highlights the interaction of nature, humans, and technology. Its central element—the interactive green glass “Kizuna Wall”—uses unique technology to become an inclusive and meditative platform for visitor messages. The exhibition center features a multifunctional cube-shaped space, “Nature’s Pharmacy,” showcasing Baltic medicinal plants and hosting events. The project implemented a full circular cycle and achieved its planned carbon balance, welcoming more than 900,000 visitors in total.
