The arrangement of the Pavilion (a module covering 324 sqm, offered freely by the organizers in raw form) is based on the original architectural solution of the Romanian architect Dorin Stefan, professor at the Faculty of Architecture from Bucharest and was carried out by the Japanese company TOPPAN CO LTD.
The concept of organisation of the Pavilion's space is based on the idea of combining an exhibition space with a performance space. In this aim, the elements of the no theatre- the traditional Japanese theatre- are associated with the representation in wood of the slope of a hill. For the Japanese visitor the Romanian Pavilion tries to recreate a space of rest and relaxation at the end of a demanding work day.
The main element marking and coordonating the entire space concept is that of dialogue between tradition and modernity, between past and present.
The elements of the popular techniques like the wood wheel, the traditional costumes and the objects present in the Pavilion, underline the uniqueness of this space.
The materials used, wood, glass and plasma support the same binom new-old.
The front of the Pavilion is created through a system of mirrors with double faces which reflects the interior of the Pavilion towards the exterior, creating a permanent movement of images.
The front reflects the activity from inside the Pavilion and mediates the relation interior-exterior being based only on the laws of optics for underlining the need to focus on the natural resources.
