Tokyo, Japan, 5 March, 2024 (APA/OTS) -
Tradition Meets High-tech in Visually Stunning Exhibition
insglück, a creative agency specializing in live marketing and
communication in space, is responsible for the content concept and
developed the exhibition for the Kuwait Pavilion. It creatively
combines tradition and high-tech. In four exhibition rooms,
visitors experience a journey through the Gulf state's past,
present, and future. The multi-sensory exhibition uses interactive
spatial staging and culminates in a vast explorative dome
projection that makes the visit an immersive experience.
"The pavilion will be an absolute highlight, not only
architecturally but also in terms of content, and impressively
reflects Kuwait's role as a Visionary Lighthouse," CEO Christian
Poswa of insglück says. "We are creating another Expo experience
that will captivate millions of visitors in Osaka."
The exhibition starts with a captivating pre-show that inspires
visitors to visualize the secrets of Kuwait in a supersized pearl.
They then enter a room that conveys the history of the trading
nation in a desert setting. In the third exhibition room, the
people of Kuwait take center stage. Along a large interactive wall,
which is designed like a large tableau of Kuwaiti society, visitors
encounter select personalities and projects that give them a
first-hand experience of the country. Visitors are invited to
interact in a playful way and provide a multifaceted insight into
the country's diverse culture, economy, and science. Via an
impressive dome projection in the main show, visitors actively
shape the future with their wishes and dreams for tomorrow.
Structural Concept Connecting Form and Function

developed a structural concept that meets the requirements for
structural optimization as well as geometric form finding," says
Andreas Schnubel, Managing Director, sbp se. "It was a great
pleasure to work with our partners from NUSSLI and LAVA again."
