Conceptually, the building seed form expresses the food source of the nation (Malaysia) derived from the rainforest seeds to celebrate the rainforest seeds and its rich biodiversity.

The formation of the four seeds takes one through a kaleidoscope journey of Malaysia with each seed encompassing visitors with different experience and level of engagement at the same time bring to bear our attention to the symbiotic relationship we have with the rainforest.

The architectural design incorporates green and sustainable features in line with the sustainability theme of the Expo. The external structure of the seeds are constructed with “Glulam” or glued laminated timber, an innovative structural timber made of local sustainable material. The choice of Glulam, combined with the structurally complex form of Malaysia Pavilion at Expo Milano 2015 is a deliberate effort to showcase Malaysia’s capabilities in both design and innovative materials.
