The whole structure of the Pavilion appears as the four giant reticular seeds, symbolically representing the growth, the potential and, at the same moment, the attention toward nature, rich biodiversity and sustainable development of the country.
What is interesting, however, such an unusual and eye-catching shape of the Malaysia Pavilion, designed by the Kuala Lumpur office Hijjas Kasturi Associates, was practically crafted piece by piece. Over 3000 steel joints were developed to connect each specific component of the external structure made with the innovative and sustainable “glulam” timber, a local know-how of Malaysia.
Inside the Pavilion hosts about 2,047 sq.m. of exhibition space divided into four parts. Each seed represents in fact an independent narrative chapter that brings you, at least for a moment, into a lush rain forests, modern urban centers and the world of colors, music and art of culturally rich and surprising Malaysia.
