Thirty aluminum pylons, rising 40 feet into
the air, draw the visitor’s attention to the Pavilion of Economic Progress. When
the visitor approaches the pavilion, he is intrigued by a huge 160-ft.-round
rotating fiber glass storywall. Colored graphics about the companies responsible
for the pavilion form a multi-image fresco, completely intelligible only when
seen from the inside. Audiences of 150 people hear about the contribution to
Canadian life of the pavilion’s participants from life-size animated puppets.
The rotating wall then becomes an illustrated back-drop for the story of
competitive enterprise.
