The German Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka marks the end of a remarkable journey.
After 184 days, the German Pavilion has closed its doors. More than three million visitors experienced a structure that demonstrates how sustainability and circularity can be realized in architecture.
Under the motto “WA! Germany – Shaping a Circular World Together,” Germany’s contribution focused on sustainability and circularity — also in its construction. The structural design consistently follows the principles of circularity: it is fully demountable, uses materials efficiently, and was parametrically designed to align load-bearing capacity, material use, and geometry with precision.

We are proud to have been responsible for the structural design of this significant project and look back on an exciting journey — from the construction site six months before the opening to the very last day.

We are thrilled to have been part of this outstanding project as the structural engineers, contributing to this remarkable achievement.
The World Expolympics celebrate excellence in experience design for Expo 2025, and the German Pavilion stands as a showcase of sustainable innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
It was a pleasure connecting with Christopher Hecker, Director of the German Pavilion Expo 2025, and sharing this proud moment at the event.

In the latest issue of Stadionwelt Inside (3/2025), we are featured twice!
Our project “Waldstadion Böblingen” is highlighted as an example of how existing structures, precision, and sustainability can be combined into a future-oriented structural concept.
The renovation of the grandstand roof illustrates how existing constructions can be updated and further developed through detailed recalculations and material-efficient solutions.

We also contributed to the expert article “Membrane Roofs in Stadium Construction: Proven Concepts and Innovations,” sharing our experience with textile and adaptable structures.

We’re excited to announce that our project “Parkarena in Furth im Wald” has been shortlisted for the Built by Nature Prize 2025!

The prize celebrates responsible timber construction around the world, and is open to completed buildings predominantly made of timber and bio-based materials. We’re honoured to be among the 28 shortlisted projects, selected from nearly 400 applications across 39 countries and jurisdictions.

Winners will be announced at the Built by Nature Summit in London on 16 October!

We had the pleasure of welcoming Martin Tamke and his students from the Royal Danish Academy!
Benedikt Neubauer from the str.ucture team presented some of our current timber construction projects and shared exciting insights into parametric and digital design processes.

Thank you for your visit, it was a truly inspiring exchange! Tak fordi I kiggede forbi!

Our interdisciplinary team has been developing so-called parametric climbing aids since spring 2024: modular designs that can adapt to any balcony. The project is supported by Stuttgart’s Climate Innovation Fund to help cool down the city during the summer.

We are currently looking for two more locations for our next prototypes. If you run a café, an office, or an open space, we’d love to hear from you. Balcony owners are also very welcome to take part.
