Japanese studio Sou Fujimoto Architects has released construction photos of The Grand Ring, a vast wooden structure that will encircle the pavilions at the upcoming Expo 2025 Osaka.
The structure is being built on the artificial island Yumeshima in Osaka Bay and will serve as a symbol of unity between the participating countries.
Once complete, The Grand Ring will have a circumference of two kilometres and a diameter of 700 metres.
The event, organized by Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), will be held for six months starting from 13 April 2025.
