![]() | Today I want you to know this information and draw your own conclusions. This is the universal exhibition of Chicago in 1893, a complex of 200 monumental buildings of Greco-Roman style nicknamed "the white city" these buildings were built in just 3 years which means that the constructions began in 1890, to this day there is only one building in request of all that and it is the palace of fine arts of Chicago (current museum of science and industry), it is assumed that these buildings were temporary so they were destroyed with the exception of the aforementioned palace of fine arts, the curious thing is that in old photos of At the time we can see in detail how majestic these buildings were and if they were temporary why is one of them still standing today? Why destroy something like that? Not even with current technology could 200 buildings of such magnitude be built in such a short time. In addition, it is not the only universal exhibition that was held, Paris 1889 Eiffel Tower, London 1851 Crystal Palace, Chicago 1893 the White City, Paris 1900 Palais du Trocadero, Metro, Brussels 1910 Universal Exhibition, Barcelona 1929 Mies van der Rohe pavilion. I leave you this great unknown and if there are architects among the public I hope to read them. [link] [comments] |
