As a Belgian, it is such fun to read what this event in Brussels has meant across borders.

Some characters could Expo 58 been developed more -- it was easy Expo 58 to sympathise with Sylvia, left home alone while Thomas whooped Expo 58 up in Brussels, because she was really only sketched in. Though silly at times, and some eye-rolling ego's floating around - the descriptions of the beautiful setting of Brussels and the very neatly tied together character relationships makes it a quite satisfying read. My favorite was a idyllic country scene where four of them are enjoying the fresh air and discussing "taking the air from this place a Fabulous!

Thomas is a reserved, unassuming man, and doesn't relish the idea of spending six months in a foreign country, leaving his wife and baby daughter behind.

Take this reaction: 'Left to his own devices for a Expo 58 minutes, Thomas attempted to savour what should have been a significant occasion for him: the first time he had ever stood on the soil of Belgium, his mother's country. And even in an intellectual mood I think I'd far rather read this than - and this is the nearest book I can think of as its antithesis - American Psycho.

  • 1 a Chanson Des Vieux Amants? Belgium and the World's Fairs Dr. Rika Devos Department of Architecture & Urban Planning, Gh
    A chanson des vieux amants? Belgium and the world’s fairs dr. Rika Devos Department of Architecture & Urban Planning, Ghent University St.-Lucas, Department of Architecture, Wenk World’s fair architecture: a setting for discussion World’s fairs would have lost their meaning in today’s mediatised global village: in 2010, this is old news, as world’s fairs, by their very existence, continue to deliver proof of the will to show, to (re)consider, nothing less than the world. Printed press, live satellite television, Internet, YouTube and Skype, multinational corporations, free travel, changed concepts of the nation and international relations, Europe without borders: all these eye and mind openers have not, as was suggested by many in the 1990ies, drained the sense and purpose from world’s fairs. Ever since the first post-war world’s fair – Expo 58, held in Brussels – organisers have publically questioned the use of their events, as from the 1950s onwards, evolutions in science, (tele)communications and transportation theoretically made the world accessible to all. But world’s fairs offer a specific view of the world, bound by place, time and the exhibition’s theme, which give order and sense to the gathering. Indeed, one of the criteria used by the BIE1 to grant a city the right to organise a world’s fair is the choice and elaboration of a relevant theme. Such a theme – in case of Shanghai 2010 ‘Better City, Better Life’ – has to set the goals for the fair, give sense to the efforts of the participants, provide an opportunity to differentiate from others and unite all in a conceptual way.

  • Former Yugoslav Pavilion Wevelgem
    Former Yugoslav Pavilion Wevelgem Address: Deken Jonckheerestraat 7, Wevelgem Architecture type: pavillion A Architects: Vjenceslav Richter Style: modernism, expo-style Year: 1958 Region: Kortrijk Epoch: after war © Pieter Lozie The current school building of the Sint-Pauluscollege was designed by celebrated Croatian architect Vjenceslav Richter. The building was designed as the national pavilion of Yugoslavia (modern day Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia) for the 1958 World Fair in Brussels. During the World Fair the pavilion was awarded the gold star award as it was considered the best pavilion among foreign country participants. The architect was even awarded Knight of the Order of the Belgian Crown. The first part of the exhibition highlighted the evolution of the industry in the country and the resources that were naturally to be found in Yugoslavia like metals. The first gallery introduced the visitor to the history of the country and also contained modern historical events at that time and the ultimate formation of the Yugoslav republic. A second gallery was dedicated to current social status of the country as of 1958. A third part exhibited artworks by modern Yugoslav artists. This included paintings, sculptures, architecture and applied arts pieces and had to demonstrate the diversity of the country through its art. A final part of the exhibition had to give visitors an idea of the cultural and historical heritage to be found in the country as well as its natural landscapes. The garden surrounding the pavilion also exhibited sculptures, among them the Nada tower by Richter himself. After the World Fair ended the building was sold to Adriaan De Jaegere who was starting a new school at the time in Wevelgem.

  • Expo '58, Brussels Universal & International Exposition
    Expo '58, Brussels Universal & International Exposition Expo '58 was the first important post war exhibition. Overall, it was their 9th such venture. Initially proposed in 1947, it soon fell victim to the cold war rumblings and viewpoints. Postponed from 1955, due to the Korean War, It ran from 17 April - 19 October 1958. By the time it opened with its towering Atomium as centrepiece, Expo '58 had become a place to test and shape the possibilities of human existence under the then shadow of nuclear destruction. The Expo was held at Heysel (photo above c1990), where the 1935 Exhibition had been held. King Baudouin donated nearly 500 acres of his private estate parkland to provide extra space for the exhibition. This was beautiful rolling countryside, which made the setting for the fair one of the prettiest ever. Its very size created a transport headache, which was duly solved. Baron Georges Moens de Femig was Commissioner-General and Charles Everaerts de Velp from the Ministry of Economic Affairs was Secretary-General. Marcel van Goethem was chief engineer, while the Atomium was suggested and designed by Andre Waterkeyn. Architectural styles were not set as in previous fairs, but should be along modernist lines. Even the Russian pavilion was modem, not Stalinist Gothic. Besides making a feature of cold war politics, Germany, Japan and Italy were allowed pavilions. The small, unimposing German one was much liked, very different from the 1937 Paris monument to Nazism. Both Japan and Italy also had modest, simple pavilions. None of these is shown. By 1958 British and French Empires were shrinking.
