Title	Post fair view with board fence round U.S. Science Pavilion; view S.W.
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00371
Description	United States Science Pavilion and IBM Pavilion after close of Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair). On the United States Science Pavilion, designed by Minoru Yamasaki and Associates and Naramore, Bain, Brady & Johanson: "The lacy pattern of this six-unit complex placed around a central court with its 100-ft. high arches is in decided contrast to the forcefulness of Coliseum 21. In a sense, the pavilion is a salute to concrete, for it is believed to represent the largest single use of precast and prestressed structural components in the nation." (An Architect's Guidebook to the Seattle Worlds Fair. Seattle, Pacific Builder and Engineer, April 1962, p. 21) On the IBM Pavilion, designed by Carreiro Sklaroff Design Associates and Charles Broudy: "New Paths to Knowledge is being developed within two copper-roofed areas supported by L-shaped columns of native stone and open section with walls of growing trees." (Architect's Guidebook , p. 38.)
