So excited about mid-century expos right now! The images that I've found from world fairs of the past have this
aesthetic of an imagined space age that has come to life like living in a
Jetsons cartoon or 2001: a Space Odessey.
diorama and beautifully coloured proposal sketches for the
Expo '62 in Seattle
Expo 1970 in Osaka
Kisho Kurokawa's
"Takara Beautillion" at Expo '70. This building is an example of
"metabolic architecture"- the idea of a structure constantly evolving. Each little pod within the structure made of steel pipes is a living space that can be added to with other pods.
