Exterior view photograph. Canada Pavilion (lot C-406) roof scape towered by an inverted pyramid structure (the "Katimavik"). The Canadian Pavilion was the largest complex at Expo. Dominated by an inverted pyramidal structure named the Katimavik (Eskimo word for "gathering place"), designers paid particular attention to the use of Canadian materials. The Katimavik boasted some of the most beautiful views of Expo as it was spanned on each of its 192 foot long sides by a promenade. Underneath the Katimavik was a revolving theatre containing five separate cinemas. At the centre of the theatre was a large stairway that brought visitors up to an outdoor terrace at the base of the Katimavik. On three sides of the Katimavik were 90,00 sq. ft exhibition areas and 14 pyramidal roofs. Themes were "The Land of Canada", "The People of Canada", The Growth of Canada", "The Challenges to Canadians" and "Canada and the World". On the fourth side stood the People Tree, a 66' high sculpture clad in hundreds of color photographs depicting Canadians in everyday life. From afar, these photographs were meant to resemble orange, yellow and red maple leaves! Other major elements were the Arts Centre, which included a gallery, library, theatre and two restaurants and a Children's Creative Center for youth ages 6 to 11. Nine hip-roofed buildings with a giant inverted pyramid and large circular tree. Structural steel and B.C. Fir Laminated wood. (S: 9 structures of varying size over 11.5 acres. --- A: 270,000 sq. ft. (building spaces) --- H: 100' (Katimavik))

Exterior view photograph. Habitat '67 exterior (lot A-245). Habitat '67 was a radical housing solution for the 1960's. It was a high density alternative to the suburbs; an apartment structure (158 individual houses made up of one, two or three boxes) to service Expo '67 and then become low cost housing for the City of Montreal. An instant icon, the design of Habitat '67 embodied a strong vernacular influence as the expression of its parts formed a striking whole. 354 interwoven rectangular boxes comprising an elongated pryamid-like volume. Precast, prestressed concrete boxes. Stress-steel bars connecting boxes. Sand blasted, precast, prestress concrete finish. Extruded anodized aluminum and solid core wood doors. (S: 950' long; 250' max width --- A: 400,000 sq. ft. (total floor area) --- H: 120')
