The architecture of the pavilion reflects the concept of unity and travel along the Great Silk Road. The pavilion is a construction of three elliptical buildings that symbolize the cities on the Great Silk Road: Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. These buildings represent a journey through Uzbekistan in three dimensions: past, present and future. The facade of the pavilion is made in the traditional architectural style: the pavilion is surrounded by an oasis and symbolizes Uzbekistan's virtual journey from the past to the future.

The Uzbekistan Pavilion is a trio of smooth, white, flat-topped towers decorated with wide strips of blue mosaic-style patterns set into an oval building. The centre of the structure is dominated by a modern arch printed with a photograph of Uzbek city Samarkand’s ornate Registan town square — glowing with shades of azure, lapis lazuli, and gold.

At 1,739 square metres, the pavilion is divided into three sections - detailing the country's history in one, where it is today in another and its expectations for the future in the third.
