Description
International Plaza , Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair) . “Surrounding the Coliseum is 94,200 sq . ft . of exhibit space in clear span structures of concrete columns and tilt-up walls with a steel joist roof system and metal decking and insulation . The concrete , laid out in a repetitive form which has become the architect's trademark , relieves what might otherwise have become a monotonous perimeter facade.” (An Architect’s Guidebook to the Seattle World’s Fair . Seattle , Pacific Builder and Engineer , April 1962 , p . 19)
