Evolving Cities - KSA Pavilion
A beacon on Osaka’s waterfront, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s pavilion at World Expo 2025 is more than just a physical structure — it’s a multidimensional experience that reimagines how a nation tells its story.
Squint/Opera crafted an immersive world within the striking architecture designed by Foster + Partners, where history, culture, and innovation seamlessly converge through cutting-edge storytelling and technology.
As Creative Director of the Evolving Cities gallery, I was tasked with creating three unique films that showcase the diversity of cities across Saudi Arabia. These synchronized films highlight seven cities from across the country, focusing on architecture, technology, green spaces, nature, art, culture, festivals, and traditions. We filmed over the course of five weeks throughout Saudi Arabia — an incredible experience that allowed us to capture the breathtaking landscapes and the vibrant spirit of its people.
