The concept design for the Australian Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka has just been revealed – a huge gumnut. The design has been developed by the global design firm Buchan, which runs eight studios across Australia and New Zealand, as well as Dubai, London and Shanghai.
Buchan’s design team has come up with a truly Australian pavilion, which calls on the ubiquitous eucalyptus tree and its gumnut as a symbol of ‘the diversity and resilience of Australian people,’ says Buchan.
