Man and his world

So much cooler!

Biosphere, Environment Museum, St. Helen's Island, Montreal:

From the Environment Canada website:
"The United States Pavilion was the most popular at Expo '67, and welcomed no less than 11 million visitors in six months. Of the 62 countries present at Montreal’s World Fair, the United States stands out for its truly exceptional contribution, due not only to the impact of its geodesic dome on the Île Sainte-Hélène landscape, but also to the spectacular aspect of the pavilion's popular and sophisticated content.

The first noteworthy element is the structure itself. Richard Buckminster Fuller was the father of the geodesic dome in the 20th century. In 1963, he was asked by the U.S. Information Agency to design the sphere that would become the United States Pavilion at Expo '67.

In addition to its shape, the United States Pavilion had another major feature to attract visitors: it was the only pavilion to straddle the tracks of the Minirail transportation system that circled the Expo site on Île Sainte-Hélène. For people who were put off by the endless line-up at the dome's entrance, this was sometimes the only way of obtaining a closer look at the wonders that generated such enthusiasm among the crowd."
