After not having seen much images of the pavilions at the Brussels World's Fair until this collection of slides, I am liking the fair much more. Fantastic Mid-Century architecture set in a green pastoral setting with lots of grass and trees. The first image shows the Germany (Deutschland) pavilion made out of steel and glass allowing the outside in.
Next up is a modern sculpture of a building for Phillips Radio with France, Morroco and Tunisia in the background.
Coca Cola also used modern architectures being a glass and steel beauty.
Final image appears to be more traditional for a World's Fair, Morroco in traditional architectures.
These are FANTASTIC! I have a few boring images from the Brussels fair, but I love these detailed shots.
ReplyDeleteThose are some great shots. Frank Lloyd Wright would have liked the openness of the glass Deutschland pavilion.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of an under-seen fair. The modern stuff is very exciting. (Modern for 50 years ago). I suspect these buildings were much cheaper than the NY pavilions, but you'd never know it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very functional and modern Coca Cola building. We need more like that...
