The tropical-forest-like Brazil Pavilion shows off the cultural diversity and dynamism of Brazilian cities with the theme "Pulsing Cities: Feel the Life of Brazilian Cities." Brazil invites visitors to touch upon the beat and pulse of its cities. The architectural project of the pavilion was conceived to present visitors with an interactive virtual show, based on audiovisual stimuli using existing models in Brazil, such as the Portuguese Language Museum and Football Museum, for example.

The pavilion's showcase highlights the transformation of Brazilian cities in search of urban solutions that result in sustainable development and wellbeing for their citizens. The display is divided into "Urban Scenes Room," "Brazilian Happiness Room" and "Pulsing Cities Room."
