Paris’ 1867 Exposition Universelle celebrated the fine arts by exhibiting works of the then-well-known Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier and Jean-Léon Gérôme. But fair organizers also rejected the works of Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Paul Cézanne.
3. World’s fairs are often built around anniversaries of great events . For example, the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris honored the French revolution a century before, while the 1876 Centennial International Exhibition in Philadelphia paid homage to the American Revolution.

@NancySinatra Your father's performance in "The Manchurian Candidate" is heartbreaking, gut wrenching -and one I've watched over and over. It never gets stale because you feel so much for and with him at the same time.
At the 1867 Paris Expo, fans mobbed the Steinway & Sons exhibit in a scene after the piano maker became the first American manufacturer to receive the Grand Gold Medal of Honor at the fair—standing out from what official accounts said were 158 companies exhibiting 338 pianos.

The worst thing Expos have ever done? Human zoos.
The last one, amazingly, was at Expo ’58 in Brussels -just 4 years after Brown v. Board of Education.

The Echoes of Expo podcast, about the 1974 world's fair in Spokane, is as impossible to resist as a compliment or a free dinner. It nailed the Expo with the grace of a Simone Biles landing.

I want to see Luxembourg top its Expo 2020 pavilion -the gleaming white one that was based on a Mobius strip, and where you heard screams every time you walked by ... from people using the 2nd story slide to exit.

I love the echoes of the Boardwalk in the US pavilion 2015, and the UK's Seed Cathedral in 2010. For me, it slashes into the air the way Lucio Fontana's gashes in a canvas made his paintings impossible to look away from.

Revealed: the pavilion of the United States 🇺🇸 at #Expo2025 Osaka Kansai will invite visitors to “Imagine What We Can Create Together”. The striking wabi-sabi inspired exterior features two triangular structures emanating, like a canyon, from an illuminated, suspended cube.

“Spatial Dynamics: AI & Human Movement Design” aims to understand multiple thinking processes and develop iterative algorithms to evaluate circulation within a given space. The class predominantly deals with the dynamics of numbers, probability, and data concerning the flow of people, space measurement, and its integration. The software depends on Rhinoceros and Grasshopper 3D visual programming, making it suitable for design practitioners without experience in coding languages.
The @PAACADEMYY’s upcoming workshop is free for digital members and led by architect and computational designer Settawut Leenavong (@chokoon21), on February 3 - 4, 2024. Register Now: Tap the 🔗 link: https://t.co/2IctVZ4rQ2
