Between Lives: Where Questions Open

07/06/2025

We are delighted to have secured a special presentation from Tsubasa Shindo of Nendo, the globally renowned product and achitectural designers, who have created the concept and form of the Japan Pavilion at the Osaka Expo.

The theme of the Pavilion – ‘Between Lives’ – resonates strongly with the underlying themes of Design for Humanity – looking ‘beyond and between’, redefining design, both human and humane, to act as a key factor in our collective future. The Japanese concept of ‘Junkan’, underpinning the Pavilion’s design, translates to ‘cycle’ or ‘circulation’, and carries a deeper meaning related to sustainability and interconnectedness. It encompasses the idea of resources and energy constantly moving and being reused, both within human society and within the natural world. 

Tsubasa’s presentation will be followed by a panel discussion exploring these related ideas with some of our speakers from earlier in the week.
