Exterior view photograph. Man in the Community (left) and Man and his Health (right) Pavilion exteriors (lot A-240). The Man and His Health and the Man in the Community pavilion shared a lot on the Expo grounds and were connected by landscaped terraces. Identical materials (B.C. Fir) and formal language (hexagonal rings) were used to as a strategy to intergrate the two pavilions. --- The Man and his Health Pavilion was designed as an inward facing building. Exhibits were located along the opaque hexagonal perimeter. Five large sectors featured differing themes using a combination of graphic walls and free standing modular islands. The exhibitions told the stories of the health problems of Man in different part of the world. A group of medical specialists named "The Health Team" were present, and the acheivements and advances in medical and health sciences were celebrated. At the core of the building stood a theatre which featured live demonstrations on six stages. Named the "Meditheatre", the performers on the central stage demonstrated aspects of medical skills. The show could be viewed form two spiral viewing ramps which were the pavilion's primary interior design feature. --- The Man in the Community Pavilion brought its layers of hexagonal rings to a peak, distinguishing the pavilion from its neighbour. The structure houses and lavish central garden and a pond. The top of the roof structure was left open to allow natural light and rain water to enter. The central garden winds through the pavilion forming landscaped courtyards and delimiting space for six enclosed exhbition theatres. Hexegonal rings rotated and stacked. Structural steel with stained, rought B.C. fir wood planking (MAN AND HIS HEALTH: S: Hexagonal shape: 100' length of each wall, 200' across --- A: 26,000 sq. ft. --- H: 42' MAN IN THE COMMUNITY: S: 285' (base diameter) --- A: 50,000 sq. ft. --- H: 140')

Exterior view photograph. Thailand Pavilion exterior (lot C-470). The single storey Thailand Pavilion consisted of two separate buildings, both highly representative of the delicate and ornate architecture of the Orient. A replica of an 18th-century buddhist shrine was built in Thailand and reassembled in Montreal. Traditional Thai pagodas sat at each end of the shrine housing additional exhibition spaces. A large reflecting pond recreated the scenic beauty of the oriental landscape. Antiques as well as modern examples of Thailand were showcased in the exhibit. Ancient Thailand was represented throughout the exhibit with ancient statues adorned in traditional costume. A royal chariot and an elephant dressed for ancient war were both crowd favorites. Modern Thailand was portrayed through the use of fine art and handicrafts made with silver, gold, wood carvings. Silk garments and Thai jewellery were centerpieces on display. The export industry was represented with displays of rice, rubber, tapioca and forest products. Cylindrical Buddhist shrine adjacent to a rectangular volume pagoda with multileveled pitched roofs. Structural steel frame for pagodas. Wood frame with gold leaf and painted wood cladding. Thai carvings and pieces of mirror set into wood. (S: 25' x 100' --- A: 550 sq. ft. --- H: 90')
