Expo 67 Montreal open to public again

Welcome to the year 1967. Welcome to the Dutch Pavilion at the World Expo ‘67 in Montreal, Canada. Never before did you have the opportunity to visit this special project by EGM architects. Or were you actually one of the 3.7 million visitors so many years ago?

Wout Eijkelenboom - architect and co-founder of EGM - designed the Dutch Pavilion, 'Man in the Delta'. Due to the industrial boom of the 1960s, the Dutch entry for the World EXPO was a representation of The Netherlands as an industrial country.

 

In the architecture of the pavilion, this was reflected through the so called ‘space frame’, an industrially produced, and aluminum-based, pipe structure. The Dutch Pavilion had a clear concept, but was complex to execute and difficult to explain on paper.

 

Today - 50 years later – so much more is possible.

 

 

With video today, and based on paper drawings and many old pictures, we have recreated the design with renders, in animation and in 360-degree images. Let us take you back in time to Montreal, so you may experience the Dutch Pavilion at the World Expo ‘67 with current technology. This way, we at EGM bring old and new buildings to life.
