Tour Guide for the Netherlands Pavilion at the Osaka Expo

Theme Highlight: The "Artificial Sun" of Co-Creation The Netherlands Pavilion is themed "Common Ground: Co-Creating a New Dawn," with a glowing sphere at its center symbolizing the "Artificial Sun." This represents clean energy and a circular future. The sphere is not only a visual centerpiece but also showcases Dutch innovation in zero-emission energy through water-powered technology. It rises like the morning sun from the water, illuminating the possibilities of sustainable living. --- 100% Circular Architecture: Rebirth After Disassembly The Netherlands Pavilion is the world's first 100% circular building! All materials are registered on the digital platform Madaster with a "material passport," ensuring they can be dismantled and repurposed after the Expo, transforming into school building materials or public installations for a second life. Even the paint comes from the eco-friendly brand AkzoNobel. From corrosion-resistant steel structures to wooden aesthetics, every inch embodies sustainable design. --- Design Inspiration: The Interweaving of Water and History The pavilion's wave-like exterior pays homage to the 425-year trade history between the Netherlands and Japan (with a total span of 425 meters!). Centered around water, the pavilion showcases innovations from hydrogen energy extraction to interactive installations, reflecting the two nations' shared wisdom in tackling climate challenges. At the entrance, glowing spheres invite you on an immersive journey through the cultural and energy revolutions of both countries. --- Must-Experience Highlights: AI Future and Interactive Art - 360-Degree AI Dome Film: The world's first AI-generated dome film, offering a breathtaking experience of the future energy world inside the sphere. - Interactive Dream Wall: Write down your visions for the future and co-create "Tomorrow's Vision" with visitors from around the globe. - Exclusive Dutch Cuisine: Don't miss the "Bitterballen" rice balls and a Michelin three-star chef-curated vegetarian menu, innovative and healthy.
