On October 29, Kajima Corporation revealed at the “GREENxEXPO 2027 500 Days Ahead Press Conference” held at the Tokyo International Forum that it will construct a giant tower using wood from the “O-roof Ring” at Expo ’70 Kansai, Osaka.
It will be exhibited as a giant wooden tower “KAJIMA TREE (tentative name)” and is expected to become a landmark of the “Hana-Haku” site as a symbol of “a new landscape for future urban development”.
Using Kajima’s cutting-edge technology, the wood used in the Expo’s large roof ring will be reborn as the symbol of GREEN x EXPO 2027. The design is currently underway, and technical details will be announced at a later date.
The theme of the International Horticultural Exposition 2027 (GREENxEXPO 2027) is “Tomorrow’s Landscape for Creating Happiness”. The exhibition will be held from March 19 to September 26, 2027, and the venue will utilize approximately 100 hectares of the former Kamiseya Communication Facility and the south side of Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
Approved by the AIPH (Association of International Gardeners) and accredited by the BIE (Bureau International des Expositions), this will be the first horticultural exposition in Japan of the highest A1 class in about 37 years, since the Osaka Flower Expo in 1990.
