- FEATURES
- The Pavilion of Venezuela is a simple expression of modern Venezuelan architecture. Under the theme "Venezuela--Her History and Future", the exhibit will take visitors on an imaginary voyage through time and space, showing the special resources with which nautre has endowed Venezuela, and the important aspects of this countries development.
- The Pavilion is a mounted concrete structure, formed by four "Hyperbolic parabolic" umbrellas. The walls, constructed of wood, are a composition of planes and volumes, separated by openings, which permit the entrance of natural light, and contribute to the beauty and enhancement of the structure.
- The integration of roof and walls produces a dramatic interior which enables the visitor to enjoy the changes in perspectives.
