Description

For the United States Pavillion at the Universal Exposition of Seville (Expo 92) competition, Myers created a series of buildings connected by courtyards, with theaters, exhibition space, and a water wall, all capped by three 'shade sails' to provide vertical interest and relief from the sun. Myers design was not the winner of the competition, so this design was never built.
