The Colombia Pavilion at Expo Osaka 2025 is themed "ICE CUBE," inspired by Gabriel García Márquez's novel. The facade consists of translucent cubes that create dynamic movement. Designed by MORF Inc., its exterior features semi-transparent polycarbonate panels with color-controlled lighting, allowing varying visual experiences. Inside, visitors are welcomed with Colombian coffee in a coffee bar, setting a sensory tone. A modular steel frame provides a sustainable structure, facilitating flexible exhibition arrangements and enabling future relocation. This approach emphasizes efficiency and recyclable materials, responsive to the temporary nature of expo architecture.
