“Designing Future Society for Our Lives” (Designing Future Society for Our Lives). This was the task set for all the countries that will participate in the Osaka World EXPO.

Thinking about the future, thinking about the future society, we designed a pavilion that was to carry a message, and that was to contribute as little as possible to environmental devastation. In cooperation with local organizations, forgoing intercontinental transportation, our pavilion was to be built from recycled materials. Selective demolition of buildings, warehouses and landfills, would provide the building blocks for the formation of the building’s body.

Obtained reinforced concrete prefabricated elements, glazing, windows, compressed aluminum waste blocks, electro-waste, body parts are to form not only the facade, but also the main thesis of the project: Saving Lives.

Manifesting the problems not only of the Polish environment, we call for cooperation and responsible conduct. 

Being in Japan for a while, we do not want to burden the global as well as the local environment. This requires cooperation, and this cooperation can in turn become an example for broader actions to bring hope to the future society.
