35 tonnes of Datecrete pavers installed at the UAE Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, half of them are tinted in four Sienna shades; the other half embed the most fibrous part of the date palm frond—typically discarded for being too tough to work with. These handmade pavers were produced in the UAE, as part of the landscape plan designed by SLA Architects for the UAE Pavilion: Earth to Ether.
