🏛️ Imagine strolling through Paris and stumbling upon the Grand Palais – its glass-domed roof glittering like a diamond crown. This architectural icon wasn’t just born from French creativity; it’s a living relic of the 1900 World Expo, where art met iron and stone in a jaw-dropping tango. Fast forward 125 years, and it still hosts runway shows and art exhibitions, proving Expo buildings are way more than temporary installations.
🔮 The Grand Palais’ story mirrors what Expo 2025 Osaka aims to achieve: crafting landmarks that outlive their events. Think of it as a city’s ultimate glow-up strategy. These structures become cultural time capsules, blending innovation with local identity – like blending matcha into a latte.
🎨 From Chanel’s shows under Paris’ glass canopy to Osaka’s upcoming pavilions, Expo architecture fuels a city’s DNA. The question isn’t just ‘What will Osaka build?’ but ‘How will these designs inspire TikTok trends, startup hubs, or climate solutions in 2125?’ ✨
