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.
