The Philippine Pavilion, entitled “Woven”, shines at the Osaka Expo 2025 with a façade that dances with culture, craftsmanship, and code. Designed by Carlo Calma, each square is a labor of hands—abaca, piña, cotton, and time. Sourced from 121 communities, artisans from Cebu bent, split, and tied every curve.
Since opening, the Pavilion has drawn over 40,000 visitors in just nine days and has received praise from international design publications for its fearless blend of tradition and technology, softness and structure—a pavilion that is distinctly Filipino, and confidently global.
1. Designed by Sou Fujimoto, the halo floats above the pavilions like a wooden crown, offering shaded walkways, seating, and stunning sightlines.
2-3. “Love The Philippines,” lit up and woven into form.
4-5. From the Expo’s timber halo, the Philippines Pavilion glows like fire in a woven basket. Shot from Fujimoto’s 2-kilometer CLT ring—Expo 2025’s show-stopping crown and shaded catwalk.
6-7. Behind the neon: 212 handwoven panels create a billboard clad, not in chrome, but craft.

Alfred Wieneke’s work is defined by the relationships he fosters with his clients, which in turn, give rise to the physical spaces he creates.
A home must be a reflection of the people who inhabit it. It’s a place where lives unfold, where memories are made, and where families find sanctuary. And this, Wieneke believes, is the true measure of success in architecture.
