EXPO2025 Theme Weeks

Programme details

We spend up to 93% of our time indoors and around 11 hours a day on technology. The benefits of daily exposure to nature for human health and well-being are many. However, our built environment and lifestyles disconnect us from Nature and deprive us of these benefits.
Architectural spatial design can improve our health and well-being by enhancing our experience of connection with Nature. Through an artistic immersion and open discussion, we will explore how some traditional and contemporary buildings in Japan offer exemplary sensory experiences of Nature connectedness, sometimes without visual contact with the natural world. These are profound lessons for our time that can easily be applied in domestic spaces.
The aim is threefold: to enrich participants´ vision of Japanese architecture, to stimulate interest in scientific perspectives on nature-connecting architecture and its benefits, and to give some tips on how to improve health and well-being through home design.
