Expo '70 Animation

After posting about the Expo '70 Mushballoons, I was alerted to the existence of this great animation featuring Osaka's Expo '70. It's based on a popular Japanese comic strip called Sazae-san.



You can see several iconic structures: the Tower of the Sun, the Mushballoons, and even the Australian Pavilion, whose architect we interviewed on the World's Fair Podcast.

Expo '70's Mushballoons

I'm fascinated by these structures that were in Expo '70's amusement zone, Expoland. The park lived on for decades after 1970 and I'd love to find out whatever became of these structures... and how well they survived in the elements.



The text accompanying the photos says:

"This is called the Mushballoon because it is shaped like a mushroom. The Mushballoons are the centerpiece of the Space of Planets in Expoland. They are elegant and dynamic in appearance.

The huge cushion of air is suspended by 45 strands of wire. The wires are all brought together and connected through a tube to a winch in the basement. When the winch is wound, the mushroom collapses in 15 minutes. The Mushballoons rest at night and bloom again in the morning. The diameter of one Mushballoon is 30 meters, that of another 20 meters, and that of the three others 15 meters.

Architectural Design: Taneo Oki Architects
Structural Design: Shigeru Aoki Research Office"

I found more information (including some cool diagrams) at:
http://www.tensinet.com/database/viewProject/3839.html

Expo '70 Diagram

This great illustration shows the basic layout of the three towers from Osaka's Expo '70: from left to right, the Tower of Motherhood, the Tower of the Sun, and the Tower of Youth.



Seemingly floating through the top of the Tower of the Sun is the space frame that served as a roof for the central plaza of Expo '70. The site is now an empty field with just the Tower of the Sun.

The Duckburg World's Fair

Another item I discovered in the stacks of the Donald G. Larson Collection on International Expositions and Fairs (at CSU Fresno), was this comic book from Walt Disney.



Published in 1962, it was clearly inspired by the 1962 Seattle World's Fair that was in the construction phase at that point.

Walt Disney would famously be involved with the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair soon afterwards.

The Famous Seattle Cosmodrome?

Going through the Donald G. Larson Collection on International Expositions and Fairs, I ran across this great promotional piece for Seattle's 1962 World's Fair. Printed before plans were set, it shows this concept for a "Cosmodrome."

Expo '10, St. Louis

Don't remember Expo '10 in St. Louis? That's because it didn't happen. At least, it didn't happen outside the mind of a 15-year-old Urso.

I drew this concept for a world's fair for 2010 back in 1982 when I was 15 years old. I'd just attended my first world's fair at the time, the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville.

Some of the anachronisms you'll notice: a West Germany Pavilion, a Soviet Union Pavilion, and prominent tags for public telephones. I also hadn't anticipated that we'd drop the two-digit shorthand for years starting in 2000.

Google's Doodle on 01 May 2011

Google's doodle on 01 May 2011 celebrates the 160th anniversary of the first world's fair, the 1851 Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, also known as the Crystal Palace:
http://www.ExpoMuseum.com/1851/

As I type this, it's 30 April 2011 in most of the world, but you can already see the doodle on Australia's site. It's interactive, so make sure you put your cursor over the graphic:
http://www.google.com.au/

2011 also marks the 25th anniversary of Vancouver's Expo 86. Next Friday, Science World hosts a celebration of Expo 86:
