Part of Dixon Expo 67 slides collection

Exterior view photograph. Scandinavia Pavilion exterior (lot B-316). The three storey Scandinavia Pavilion was themed "Man in Unity" as it represented five Scandinavian countries. Nearly all of the building materials were made in one of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden. Designed to express the temporary nature of the structure, structural steel elements (which were prefabricated in Sweden) as well of ancillary elements such as pipes and ducts were left exposed. The ground level was conceived as an open exhibition court. Also present on the floor were administration offices, public washrooms, a cafeteria and restaurant. Moving sidewalks took visitors up to the second floor where each participating nation was given its own exhibition area. Rectalinear volume. Structural steel with stained wood clapboard, painted asbestos board and painted concrete block. (S: 165' x 165' --- A: 55,500 sq. ft. --- H: 52')
