Organized by BelEXPO (the Belgian Commission General for International Exhibitions), the Belgian Pavilion will host a variety of interesting events throughout the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. Ney & Partners participates in the Belgian Architecture and Design Week, running from May 7th to 13th. Laurent Ney, Founder and CEO of Ney & Partners, along with Ryuichi Watanabe, Director of Ney & Partners Japan, will present a lecture on sustainability in infrastructure projects in Belgium and Japan. This presentation complements the World Expo’s overarching theme, “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.” Kenryo Takahashi, Structural Engineer at Ney & Partners BXL and an expert in tensile structures and form finding, will lead a guided tour of the Luxembourg Pavilion. Ney & Partners played a key role as the engineering advisor for the tensile roof’s structure and design, collaborating with Luxembourg’s STDM architects and Japan’s Mikan Architects-Mikangumi. The Belgian Architecture and Design Week will conclude with a lecture by Kengo Kuma, one of Japan’s most renowned architects, celebrated for his thoughtful and human-centered approach to design.
