DP 建筑事务所与Kingsmen展览公司合作，公布了2025年大阪世博会新加坡馆的设计方案。这个方案围绕“梦想成形的地方”这一概念，旨在让人们了解新加坡的文化和具有影响力的创新理念。展馆的外形是一个17米高的球体，由可回收材料包裹，创造了多感官的展览空间，展示可持续的未来行动和创新精神。

展馆位于梦洲岛一块900平方米的土地上，高度为17米。馆内的装置分为三层，为来参观的游客提供沉浸式的互动多媒体艺术装置，这些作品由新加坡知名艺术家创作，包括 Ashley Yeo、Jerrold Chong、Melissa Tan和Zul Mahmod。展览还旨在介绍新加坡的烹饪传统以及建筑环境。

DP Architects group, in collaboration with Kingsmen Exhibits, unveiled the Singapore Pavilion design for the Expo Osaka 2025. The concept centers around the tagline ”Where dreams take shape,” aiming to offer an insight into the country’s culture and impactful innovations. The pavilion, taking the shape of a 17-meter-high sphere clad in recycled disks, creates a multi-sensorial exhibition showcasing actions and innovations that encourage a more sustainable future.
Located on a 900-square-meter plot on Yumeshima Island, the pavilion will measure 17 meters in height. Inside, the installations are organized on three levels, offering visitors an immersive exhibition of interactive multimedia art installations by recognized Singapore artists, including Ashley Yeo, Jerrold Chong, Melissa Tan, and Zul Mahmod. The display also aims to provide an introduction to Singapore’s culinary traditions, as well as innovations in the built environment.

“梦幻球体”由数以千计的红色梦幻圆盘组成。按照建筑师的说法，这些圆盘由回收材料制成，象征着新加坡的集体精神。新加坡是第一个破土动工建造代表馆的国家。这个装置的形状也旨在代表新加坡和日本之间良好的外交关系。

受“小红点”的启发，设计的起源是对这个术语的实体化呈现，超大的体验球体坐落在梦幻般的云景中。这个球体由成千上万个“梦想圆盘”（Dream Discs）包裹，这些圆盘由可回收材料制成，就像是一个集体愿望的灯塔，仿佛邀请全世界的人们都来踏上多感官之旅，以梦想和积极塑造人类和地球生活的决心为动力，想象一个充满无限可能的奇妙世界。——Seah Chee Huang，DP 建筑事务所首席执行官

本届世博会延续传统，将于2025年4月13日开幕，力求突出新技术和创新精神，就围绕建筑环境的紧迫性为主题展开讨论。其他几个国家馆的设计方案也已公布，包括 Lina Ghotmeh 为巴林王国国家馆设计的方案、LAVA 建筑事务所为德国馆设计的以循环经济为灵感的方案，以及 Aleatek 工作室为塞尔维亚馆设计的“漂浮森林”概念。展览场地的总体规划由藤本壮介（Sou Fujimoto）负责，他还负责主展馆的设计，这是一个占地 6万平方米的木结构建筑，环绕着展览场地。

The ”Dream Sphere” is clad in thousands of Dream Disks in vibrant red hues. Made of recycled materials, these represent the collective spirit of Singapore, according to the architects. The country is the first to break ground and begin the construction of its representing pavilion. The shape of the installation also aims to represent the good diplomatic relationship between Singapore and Japan.
Inspired by the ‘Little Red Dot’, the genesis of the design is a physical manifestation of this term of endearment, into a larger-than-life experiential sphere, nestled in a dream-like cloudscape. A Dream Sphere, enveloped by thousands of Dream Discs made of recycled material, presents a beacon of collective aspiration, where we invite the global community on a multi-sensorial journey to imagine a wondrous world of endless possibilities, powered by dreams and the determination to positively shape the lives of people and the planet. - Seah Chee Huang, CEO, DP Architects
Continuing in the tradition of World Expos, the events commencing on April 13th, 2025, strive to highlight new technologies and innovations and open up debates on pressing themes surrounding the built environment. Several other national pavilion designs have been revealed, including Lina Ghotmeh’s proposal for the National Pavilion of the Kingdom of Bahrain, LAVA Architects’ circular economy-inspired design for the German Pavilion, and Aleatek Studio’s concept of a “Floating Forest” for the Serbia Pavilion. The masterplan of the exhibition site is led by Sou Fujimoto, who is also leading the design of the main pavilion, a 60,000 sqm timber structure that encircles the exhibition grounds.
