FEATURES

The theme of the Eastman Kodak Exhibit is the "universality of photography as an international language".

Exterior: The pavilion will be a unique architectural showcase 363 feet long and topped by an 80 foot tower. The tower will contain five color prints 30 feet by 36 feet which will be visible both day and night. The floating carpet concrete roof with gently sloping walkways, gardens and fountains will be an attractive setting for camera enthusiasts who wish to photograph their family and friends.

Interior: The pavilion will contain two theatres. The visitor will walk into a huge, circular theatre and see an exploration into the unusual wonders of the world captured by the camera. This theatre will accommodate 700 people at one time or 35,000 during an average day. The smaller theatre will be used for lively audio-visual demonstrations of products by Kodak and its subsidiary companies in chemical, textile and fashion fields.

New audio-visual techniques will be used throughout the building and in the 26 different exhibit areas. The pavilion will communicate photography's ability to measure and document scientific progress, and industry's growing use of photography as an ingenious and trustworthy production tool. Photography information will be provided by qualified personnel.
