3686 - YES, there are still World’s Expos– OSAKA, 2025 (Allan Hing)
Course Description
Instructor: Allan Hing
A look at the Osaka World’s Expo that closed last October. One-hundred and fifty-eight pavilions addressed the Fair’s theme – “Designing Future Society for our Lives” in pavilion designs and interior exhibits. There will be a review of this Expo as well as an analysis of past Expos as they related to the Osaka Expo – this is my 8th Expo. Osaka’s large wooden structure formed a 1.2 mile ring surrounding the site and joins the Eiffel Tower (1889), the Atomium (1958) and the Space Needle (1962) as permanent Expo reminders. Included will be memorabilia from past Expos and a review of the Winter exhibition, “World’s Fair: Visions of Tomorrow”.
Bio: Allan Hing has been an Olli Instructor for the past 10 years, degrees in Interior Design and Architectural History.
