Mori Art Museum in Roppongi assembled a 1/4 scale replica of Sou Fujimoto’s Expo 2025 “Grand Ring”

The primary photograph is the in-Museum exhibit duplicate in Roppongi, whereas the second is a “photograph of a photograph,” displaying the precise construction constructed on the Osaka Expo. The ultimate photograph is an aerial view of the Grand Ring taken at evening.

Spanning over 60,000 sq. meters and stretching 2 kilometers in circumference, the Grand Ring is now the most important timber construction on this planet. It rises between 12 and 22 meters in peak and is created from a mixture of native Japanese sugi cedar, hinoki cypress, and Scots pine glulam, joined utilizing conventional Japanese nuki joinery methods
