wideimaging > The initial position of the RCA Pavilion placed it across the path from the never to be Soviet Pavilion. Considering their clients a site somewhat further away was selected.

wideimaging > The ultimate location of the RCA Pavilion was in front of the North entrance gate, as a result pedestrian flow and exhibit arrangements were key considerations in this Pavilion's layout.

wideimaging > Computer animation of the Underground Home, one of the exhibitions in the 1964-65 World's Fair. From the brochure "It is built, like a ship in a bottle, inside of an oblong shell of waterproof concrete 130 feet by 90 feet wide. The shell's concrete top, 36 inches below the surface, is covered by the earth's insulation. The Underground Home is thus protected from the ravages of nature, the physical and psychological assaults caused by our industrialized society and the population explosion."
Still buried in Flushing Meadow Park, across from the Hall of Science.
