Exterior view photograph. Canadian Pulp and Paper Pavilion Exterior (lot C-482). The roof line of the Pulp and Paper Pavilion was designed to resemble a forest. The exhibition area spanned 36 of the 50 modules (see "Geometry"), the remaining serving administration and hospitality areas. Found in the exhibition area were displays on the history of paper. Two auditoriums bridged by a stage area showed educational videos about issues such as paper production and the economic benefits of the industry. Visitors were charmed by French artisans conducting live paper making demonstrations. 16' modular grid covered by 50 pyramidal elements of equal base size (16' X16') and different heights (20', 30', 40' or 60') Structural steel with exterior grade plywood. (S: 50' x 100' (approx.) --- A: 8000 sq. ft. --- H: 18' (from lower level))
