AP041.S1.1967.D2
Description:
This project series documents a submission for a design competition commissioned by the Government of Canada for its pavilion at the 1970 World Exposition in Osaka, Japan. Fashioned from construction cranes and scaffolding, Melvin Charney's submission (in collaboration with Harry Parnass and Janos Barancs) garnered significant interest and media coverage, and served as a turning point away from traditional architecture practice towards public art. The competition was won by architect Arthur Erickson. Material includes presentation drawings, a photograph of the no longer existant model, and competition documents including correspondence and a copy of the competition programme.
