Hello, everyone! Tonight, I'll be discussing the lecture during Wednesday's class over the world's fairs lectures and how I believe they connect back to architecture/interior design.
Something that became apparent in my eyes about the world's fairs is that it's like a giant celebration for this one specific "thing," which can be anything of large importance. These fairs could even be held in order to present something large for everyone to see and think about. For instance, there's the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (St. Louis, Missouri;1904) where there's all of this beautiful, well-crafted architecture being displayed in amazing lighting that allows for more depth in these structures. Then, there's also a matter of wanting to create contrast in a display, like in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition (San Francisco, California;1915) where this strip of light-colored buildings are added into this darker area of buildings. This allows for interesting images and experiences to take place.
