KAIST

For CES 2026, KOTLA-USA designed and built the KAIST Pavilion as a contemporary, highly structured exhibition environment that reflects advanced technology, academic excellence, and innovation leadership. The pavilion was developed with a clear architectural concept, featuring a clean structural grid, bold vertical elements, and a balanced combination of open and semi-enclosed zones.

The design emphasizes clarity and modularity, allowing multiple startups and research units to coexist within one cohesive spatial language. Custom-built display panels, integrated LED lighting, graphic walls, and purpose-built furniture were precisely fabricated and installed to ensure visual consistency and durability throughout the show. Every construction detail—from structural framing and lighting integration to graphic alignment and cable management—was executed to meet both aesthetic and functional requirements, delivering a polished and professional pavilion experience.
