GREEN×EXPO 2027 · International Horticultural Exposition, Yokohama
Italy Pavilion
L'Architettura del Grano — the Architecture of Grain
19 March – 26 September 2027
The Italy Pavilion by AMDL Circle — straw and timber, built to be reborn.
The Pavilion
Grain, woven into architecture
The Italy Pavilion reinterprets the pagliaio — the Italian haystack — as contemporary architecture: an elliptical hall of straw and timber, built from natural fibres and designed to be dismantled and reborn. It evokes the light and landscape of the Italian countryside.
Inside, a single nave of light and wheat presents Italian excellence in horticulture, landscape design and sustainable agri-food — a story of research and innovation that Italy and Japan have written together for centuries.
"Wheat is the symbol of a heritage Italy and Japan share."
Pavilion design: AMDL Circle — Michele De Lucchi
