Photograph of Austria Pavilion exterior (B-313).

Photograph of Austria Pavilion exterior (lot B-313). The design of the two storey Austria Pavilion was inspired by the molecular structure of crystals. The ground floor of the pavilion contained the main exhibition spaces where Austrian music, literature, science and art were some of the major themes explored. An escalator took visitors to the upper level where a mechanical theatre presented the story of Austrian life, past and present. The Wienerwald restaurant was also a popular attraction serving traditional Viennese cuisine. Multi-paneled triangular structure. Rigid structural steel for theatre section. Rigid aluminum frame with structural steel columns for exhibit area. Sandwich wall panels of baked enamel, aluminum and honeycomb cardboard with extruded anodized aluminum framing.

Exterior view photograph. Belgium Pavilion (lot B-311). Although the Belgium Pavilion was in fact a temporary structure, the material combined with its meticulous design gave the pavilion an air of permanence. The parallelogram grid pattern was carried carefully throughout the building in elements such as floor slabs, exhibition cases and even planter boxes. The two storey building was dedicated almost entirely to exhibition space and was fronted by a large entrance foyer. Here, busts of royalty looked down on a collection of books and periodicals. The first floor exhibition spaces featured a Hall of Honors section which displayed ancient royal and religious treasures. A large staircase took visitors to the upper level where the Hall of Fame celebrated 55 famous Belgians from a multitude of disciplines. Modular parallelogram grid plan. Reinforced concrete, structural steel superstructure, concrete filled steel deck floor. Belgian hand made brick with brown solar glass window panels. (S: 220' x 135' (overall) --- A: 34,500 sq. ft. --- H: 33' 6")
