A few months ago Urso and I did a podcast where the question was "Are Expo's all about the architecture, or is there more than that?"
Well of course there is more than that, but an inspiring structure goes a long way towards capturing the public's imagination.
And of all of the Australia Pavilions in the past 50 or so years, since 1967, I think that Australia at Expo 67, and Expo 70 - both by James Maccormick MBE - are the most outstanding.
Expo 2005 Japan - was without a doubt - the worst - looking like a corner store or butcher.
How have we fallen so much in the architecture stakes since the highpoint of the 60s and 70s?
