You have to come up with the guidelines for the design of the U.S. pavilion of a 2016 World’s Fair to take place in San Francisco. The pavilion will focus on the future of the American built environment. The guidelines must include:
a) A list of three spaces within the pavilion that will hold different exhibitions showing visions of the future of the American built environment. What three visions should be included and
why? b) General parameters for the design: what should be the style of the building and why?, what materials and technologies should be used in the building and why?, what other parameters should the designer(s) consider? c) What architect(s) do you think would be up to the task of representing the future?
You will write a letter addressed to the architect(s) suggested for the design of the building telling him/her that he/she was selected and why, and explaining him/her the guidelines to follow in the design and the reasons behind them. If needed, the letter may include images or schemes that help the architect(s) understand the guidelines.
