  • @IpcressRecordings Unlike most world fairs Expo 67 had several iconic structures not just one or two, the Canada Pavilion, the French Pavilion, British Pavilion, and about a dozen other all stand out. One was was never a pavilion at all, the Habitat House, it still has people residing there till this day. Architecture has really taken a dive since that time, you have a faux Victorian at one end and deconstructist crap at the other with boring concrete and glass boxes inbetween.

  • I think that they should install some windows in that thing again, it looked better with them and they could grow tropical plants inside like they used to. Now it looks just like an overgrown jungle gym from a playground with the bare bars.

  • Incredible to see the structure still standing today!

  • @expo66

    At least the Bucky pavilion still stands.... it's a science museum now (go figure) while the French pavilion is now the town casino. LOL

  • How long must we look at her ugly ass coat...?

  • I don't know about that. I think Buckminster Fuller's design is iconic. It's these kind of far out structures (Space Needle, Sun Sphere etc.) that make world expos memorable.

  • Ahhh, electronic music before the micro-processor: solid-jiggly-cheese.

    Well, ok (for you vintage fanatics) warm, solid-jiggly-cheese.

  • as Eric Cartman,or A.W.E.S.O.M.E-O said,

    "LAME!!!"

  • Thanks for this trip down memory lane. Good stuff. Strange music.

  • Shows how, other than Fuller's design, the NYWF U.S. Pavilion was much more subtantive that the superficial content of US at Expo '67. A wonderful timepiece, and those expo girls' outfits! Swingin'!

    Thanks for sharing this!!
