At Expo 2025, the German Pavilion presents circularity through nature, technology, and society. Recurring musical motifs guide visitors through the route.

For the German Pavilion, we designed a sonic journey in which recurring motifs return in altered forms, mirroring the logic of circularity itself. Across the areas Circular Economy, Circular Living, and Circular Me, nature, technology, and society are connected through musical material that changes with each space.
Blending with architecture, narrative, and light, the sound scenorgaphy transforms each space into a sonic landscape — bridging the abstract idea of circularity with an immediate, emotional experience.
As visitors move through the pavilion, sound carries them deeper into the cycle, an invitation to listen, reflect, and imagine new ways of living together.
