Exterior view photograph. Quebec Pavilion exterior. The Quebec Pavilion was one of refined elegance. The glass curtain wall appeared opaque in the daylight as it reflected it's surroundings. At night it transformed into a sleek, illuminated shell. The pavilion's exhibits emphasized industy, urban life, technology and higher education. 4200 cubes lay throughout the building. They acted as display cases for everything from photographs to movie screens. At one point the cubes become the display themselves as a portion of falling cubes were suspended from the ceiling respresenting a falling tree. Truncated pyramid. Structural steel with glass curtain wall (4' x 8' panels) (S: 160' x 160' --- A: 26000 sq. ft. --- H: 115')
