屹立於大阪灣的粼粼波光上，一座宛若漂浮於天地之間的木質環形結構映入眼簾，劃出一道溫潤流暢的天際線。這片交織著傳統與未來的木質環圈，就像是一座無形的大門，迎接來自世界各地的旅客在此相會。 多元一體，讓世界博覽會精神深植人心 回憶這段超越想像的建築實踐，藤本壯介表示，早在2025大阪世界博覽會整體概念發展之初，他便提出了「多元一體」（Unity in Diversity）理念，「我們希望透過深植人心的場域概念，讓人們體會世博的意義，進而珍視這六個月來各國共聚一堂的價值。這座建築不僅是多元世界的交會點，也是年輕世代親身感受未來的場域，更向全球傳遞大阪、關西與日本的魅力。」 由此概念出發，大屋根的環形結構被構思為一座象徵性的門，迎接來自世界各地的訪客。「面對艱難時刻，世界依然能在圓環之中相聚、連結、共創未來。大屋根希望讓全球人民深刻體會這一點，並在未來數十年間，成為象徵多元世界彼此相連的代表性建築。」此外，大屋根的環形設計也呼應「禪」的精神（指一筆即能畫完的禪宗圓形圖案「円相」），簡約卻饒富意趣。 當傳統木造工藝，成為通往未來的蹊徑...

Dear readers, dear friends,Like many of you, we’ve felt unmoored by the political chaos of the past couple of weeks. Deportations, detentions, firings of veterans and park rangers (and more), cuts to free lunches for low-income kids, defunding of scientific research, anti-trans laws, the gutting of the Department of Education, countless needless deaths from the cuts to USAID—we lie awake at night, sinking into depression.

What you need to know A more isolationist US emboldens China, increasing pressure on Taiwan.
