Across four floors, six orchestral pieces accompany the thematic chapters of the pavilion — from nature and enterprise to connectivity and culture.
Each composition carries its own atmosphere, yet all blend seamlessly into one evolving sonic journey that spans the entire building.
At its core stands the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg. Recorded exclusively for the pavilion, the orchestra became both the expressive centerpiece and the sonic architecture of the exhibition.
Visitors move through the music, surrounded by the individual sections of the orchestra distributed throughout the space.
We designed the overall dramaturgy and sound concept, shaping the musical flow that connects each chapter into one coherent narrative.
Working closely with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, we developed an acoustic choreography where spatial arrangement, movement, and composition form a single experience — sound as structure, emotion, and identity.
