Side elevation of pavilion model showing how the entire canopy is suspended from the masts, which are of box section formed by welding together four universal beam profiles

Anciliary administrative and main- tenance buildings are approached from under the pavilion canopy and are treated in such a way that they appear as part of the landscape.

Architects for the pavilion are the London firm of Powell and Moya whose projects have included the huge Churchill Gardens housing pro- ject at Pimlico, London, and the ver-

tical Skylon feature for the Festival of Britain South Bank Exhibition in 1951. They are currently working on a new Museum of London.

Working in association with them are the Tokyo firm, Takaki and Dodd. Mr. Hideniro Takaki, who studied in Britain and graduated at Cambridge University, is one of Japan's leading architects and has designed many com-

mercial, educational and residential buildings.

Interior designers

Interior designers for the four ex- hibition halls include: Charles Munro & Associates; Leslie Gooday & Asso- ciates; Casson, Conder and Partners; and Bowyer, Grange, Stringer.

Section 1, with a gross area of 6,000 sq. ft., will illustrate the con- tributions Britain has made to human progress in every field of endeavour. Section 2, 5,000 sq. ft., will show Britain in the forefront of research and technology - in government, industry and universities.

Section 3, 8,000 sq. ft. will pre- sent, in an industrial setting, animated displays and actual exhibits of British advancements in the fields of modern production and in the planning of a modern living environment.

The total cost of the design and and erection of the British pavilion, the production of displays and ex- hibits, management over six months, together with cultural events organised by the British Council, is estimated at £2 million (US$4.78 million).
