I found this little nugget the other day, and it made me stoked.
In 1976, Vancouver hosted the UN Habitat Conference on Human Settlements, all about urban settlement issues.
Vancouver's own Arthur Erickson designed this paper based pavilion, which was located in front of the Art Gallery.
"The pavilion’s roof is a set of hyperbolic paraboloids created with paper-mache. Sections of the roof were created by about two thousand Lower Mainland children, who paper-mached over the molds in the factory and later painted designs onto the cured skin."
Paper pavilions... now that is awesome!
