As the editorial team behind Forma The Magazine, we attend our fair share of industry events.

Canada’s architectural glass industry is preparing to gather once again for Top Glass 2026, the nation's definitive trade conference and expo for glazing professionals.

Now that the dust has settled on Yumeshima Island and the crowds have returned home, it is the perfect time to look back at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai.

Winning the international bid for the Serbia Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka was just the beginning for Marquet and Partners. The real challenge lay in the site itself: a prominent, high-traffic location neighbouring the iconic Grand Ring.
