Expo 67 This Was The Future

http://home.napster.com/ns/music/artist.html?artist_id=12747571

We dream to see the return of Man the Producer, once a pavilion built for Expo67 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, seen at the end of this video. To be rebuilt on original foundations and design, a cost effective measure, to redo a self sustaining exhibition inspired by forgotten advanced virtues experienced during EXPO 67 . Once back in place, the pavilion will offer 4 distinct exhibits:

-To explore our world and Universe LIVE with
Canadian and International remotely controlled
powerful telescopes displaying selected visitor
searches on huge hexagonal digital displays:
YOU THE EXPLORER
-To demonstrate the effects of man made
destruction of world wide eco-systems, presenting all species on the verge of extinction, featuring live
huge satellite photo displays of Amazonia and the ever so shrinking Arctic Ocean ice:
SOS planet HURT
-Scientific achievements of the preceding year, renewed every year:
EDGE SCIENCE
- A section with as many art masterpiece originals
(or copies) as possible, along with a constant stream of live music and poem presentations inside or on roof top amphitheaters:
HALL OF THE heARTS

The tower by the final pavilion picture is a WET
(TM patent pending), Wind Energy Tower, with
vertical axis wind turbines on every floor. The air
above 20 meters height has continuous winds,
especially in the middle of the St-Lawrence river,
by a large lake or the sea. It is a high rise building,
except that the floors above 20 meters produce
electricity, without killing birds, renewable electricity
with elegance, providing power from wind, reducing
utilities cost to a minimum or making a profit.

Finally, it would be good to have a minirail from
Jean Drapeau Metro to the pavilion and to the beach
via Casino de Montreal, with another direct line to
LaRonde, the hugely popular amusement park.
Dreaming as well for expansive minirail systems
in every progressive city World Wide, councils
daring to bring the future only win a community with
main streets without any traffic during daylight,
having citizens and their favorite animals roam freely
in a pleasant atmosphere of great safety, as was
during EXPO67. Achieving a state of the art future
downtown with a new heart beat; the sound of
walking feet from carefree people only worried about
weather. The minirail is above head, quiet,
small, very sleek, very green, co-exists within a
few centimeters from trees, can transport millions
of people enjoyably while increasing the pleasure of
city life for all living things.

@trancis36 The Calder statue, the Buckminster Fuller Geo Dome, The French Pavilion (now the Casino de Montreal) and La Ronde are all left over from the 67 Expo.

I remember going there by bus from Akron, Ohio when I was 9 yrs. old with my Dad and brother. I remember thinking how expensive it was ($39.99 for roundtrip bus and admission). I remember liking the Iranian pavilion the most (the West were pals with them at that time). I also remember not understanding the French-speaking waiter at breakfeast. My mother did not go because she had to work! It was a great childhood memory...

I was there with my family at 11 years old. The Beatles Sgt. Pepper record had just been released and in general it seemed like a happy, optimistic, forward looking world. We, the young people, were going to overthrow the forces of old and evil and warlike. I guess we didnt count on over-population and ignorance and greed to attain such staggering power.

[trancis36]

I was there @ 3years old... I don't remember anything but I go to the site often and it's such a shame it all was destroyed... nothing's left except the remain of the USA pavilion... And L'Homme De Calder that you see at 5:05 to 5:10...

@dappawap i cycle over there almost every day in the summer..great place

[dappawap]

I think I was one of the last to see it before they closed it down. It is good to see this video because I forgot what it looked like before. Now it is a great jogging trail.

@jerryg50 I think they did it for comparison. Expo 67 was to be the future, and now it is showing it in modern times (assuming this video was made in the 1990s).

[faunflynn]

This was what the future used to look like.

Better I think than what we got.

The Future? You need lots of Graffiti, street gangs, ice and crack, rap/hip hop blasting away, young, surely guys on steroids and everyone with a new Uni degree plugging away in some American owned, call centre for $10 an hour! Lol Welcome to the future, 45 years later!
