The Grand Ring at Expo 2025 is the largest timber structure in the world, combining centuries-old Japanese joinery techniques used in historic temples with modern engineering. The design features traditional nuki joinery where horizontal beams pass through vertical columns, creating strong yet flexible connections that help the structure withstand earthquakes. Hidden metal connectors and precision-cut laminated timber add extra strength and seismic resilience, allowing this massive wooden ring to stand nearly 20 meters tall while embracing both traditional craftsmanship and modern innovation. Designed to be easily dismantled and reused, it represents a new era of sustainable architecture.
