At a Glance

The Beatles, Michelangelo, Touchtone Phones, Andy Warhol, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Ken Kinsey, Civil Rights, Walt Disney, the “Space Race," Robert Moses and Belgian Waffles … what’s the common denominator? The 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair! Architecture at the Fair was emblematic of the diverse and often contradictory currents that made the mid-sixties so dynamic.
