About This Book

A handbook surveys the architectural design, sculptural works, and mural painting programs created for a large international exposition, combining practical ground plans and material descriptions with interpretive notes on symbolism and color. It provides guided accounts of principal palaces, courts, towers, and festival spaces; catalogs contributing architects, sculptors, and muralists; describes construction materials, decorative motifs, and horticultural settings; and reproduces a list of illustrations and an index. A descriptive foreword evokes the exposition's pastel palette and ceremonial atmosphere, while chapters explain the intended narratives and allegorical programs woven into façades, fountains, and interior schemes.
