沙特阿拉伯王国国家馆现已向公众开放。该馆由Foster + Partners建筑事务所设计，位于大阪梦洲水岸地带，整体空间体验呼应沙特城镇的探索之旅，为游客打造一个沉浸式的参与环境，感受这个王国尚未被世人熟知的奇迹。该馆具有高度的可持续性与包容性，在设计之初就考虑到其未来的遗产价值，目标是达到日本绿色建筑评估系统CASBEE的最高等级（S级），并实现运营阶段的零碳排放。

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Pavilion for Expo 2025 Osaka has opened to the public. Designed by Foster + Partners and located on the Yumeshima waterfront, the Pavilion creates a spatial experience that echoes the exploration of Saudi Arabian towns and cities, while providing a setting for immersive engagement that connects visitors with the undiscovered wonders of the Kingdom.The highly sustainable and inclusive Pavilion has been designed with its legacy in mind as the project aims to achieve the Japanese green building rating system’s highest level (CASBEE S) and will be net zero operational carbon.

Foster + Partners事务所设计负责人Luke Fox表示：“我们非常高兴沙特馆向公众开放，准备迎接第一批游客踏上一段全新的探索旅程。本项目是对沙特文化的礼赞，唤起人们对沙特街道风貌和自然风光的美好记忆。每一个设计细节都经过精心考虑，旨在打造一场独一无二、可持续并对所有人开放的体验。”

Luke Fox, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners, said: “We are delighted to see the Saudi Pavilion open to the public and ready to welcome its first visitors on an epic journey of new discovery. The project is a celebration of Saudi Arabian culture, evoking the wonderful streetscapes and captivating natural landscapes that define the Kingdom. Every element has been carefully considered to create a one-of-a-kind experience that is highly sustainable and accessible to everyone.”

游客将从前院进入展馆，周围种植有原生沙特植物，并穿越狭窄街巷，最终抵达项目的核心——沙特庭院。该庭院在白天为游客提供静谧的沉思空间，夜晚则变身为表演与活动场所。从这里出发，游客可以探索由蜿蜒街道组成的“村落”，透过窗户与门洞进入一系列沉浸式空间，这些空间由Foster + Partners与Journey团队（59 Productions与Squint/Opera）紧密协作设计。展馆向沙特建筑遗产致敬，唤起场所感，为游客呈现沙特街道日常生活与城市肌理的一瞥。

Visitors enter the Pavilion through the forecourt, planted with native Saudi Arabian flora, and travel through narrow streets that lead to the Saudi Courtyard, which is the beating heart of the scheme. The Courtyard allows for moments of quiet reflection during the day and transforms into a venue for performances and events at night. From here, visitors are invited to explore a ‘village’ of meandering streets, with windows and doorways into a series of immersive spaces, designed in close collaboration with Journey (59 Productions and Squint/Opera). The project honours the Saudi’s architectural heritage, evokes a sense of place, and provides visitors with a glimpse into the daily life and urban fabric of the Kingdom’s streets.

Foster + Partners合伙人Tony Miki补充道：“沙特馆还旨在促成公众与沙特杰出艺术家与音乐家之间的深度连接。通过调动所有感官，展馆让人们切身感受到沙特的国家变革。它如同一个城市的微缩模型，在传统与现代技术之间取得了平衡，展示了塑造沙特未来的新图景。我们与Journey团队紧密合作，确保沉浸式数字内容与建筑设计高度融合。”

Tony Miki, Partner, Foster + Partners, added: “The Saudi Pavilion is also designed to create meaningful connections between the visiting public and Saudi Arabia’s incredible artists and musicians. By engaging all of the senses, the space allows visitors to experience the national transformation of Saudi Arabia. It is its own urban microcosm that carefully balances tradition and heritage with modern technologies which is shaping the Kingdom’s future. We have worked closely with Journey to ensure that the immersive digital content is holistically integrated within the architectural design.”

Journey总监Leo Warner表示：“与Foster + Partners的独特合作关系让我们的团队从设计初期到落成全程深度参与，创造出一个既能让沙特人民讲述自身故事、又能在世博会背景下呈现独特国家形象的展馆。正是Foster团队的远见、开放态度与协作方式促成了这场非凡合作。”

Leo Warner, Director of Journey, said: “The unique partnership with Foster + Partners, whereby our team were embedded with the master architecture practice from the very start to the very end, enabled a unique way of conceiving and delivering a pavilion that both platforms the people of Saudi Arabia to tell their own story and delivers a unique approach to nation-branding in an Expo environment. It was their vision, openness and collaborative methodology that facilitated this unique partnership.”

沙特馆的体量呼应传统沙特村落的有机形态，设计团队在方案发展过程中引入了计算流体动力学模拟，使来自西方的凉风能够在夏季高温时流入街道。在四月与十月较凉爽的月份，前院的景观设计还能抵御来自北方的强风。

The Saudi Pavilion’s massing recalls the organic shapes of traditional Saudi villages. The practice’s design developed these concepts and has been carefully crafted using computational fluid dynamics simulations, to allow cool winds from the west into the streets during the height of summer. In the cooler months of April and October, the landscaped forecourt acts as a barrier to protect the pavilion from harsher northerly winds.
