About This Book

A guided architectural tour recounts a walk across a world exposition, combining a brief history of its development with descriptive chapters that examine courts, palaces, gardens, sculptures, murals, color schemes, and illumination. An architect's commentary explains design choices, materials, planting, and collaborative work among architects, sculptors, and decorators, while close views of the Palace of Fine Arts, horticultural and machinery exhibitions, and multiple courts illustrate daytime and nighttime effects. Illustrations and an index accompany practical notes on ornament, lighting, and the integration of landscape with architectural form.
