American West Asia 1962 World Expo Architecture

Space Needle New Year Fireworks Show In the 1960s, the United States was full of longing for space. 1962, the national aeronautics and space administration (NASA) built a manned spacecraft center in Houston, Texas (1973 was renamed Johnson Space Center), which was used to design Apollo spacecraft, train astronauts and control manned flight. Therefore, "people in the space age" naturally became the theme of 1962 Seattle World Expo. On the basis of this theme, the space needle, the landmark building of the Seattle World Expo, fully expresses people's ideals.

The strange shape of the space needle is like a flying saucer standing on a slender metal, and the overall design is very avant-garde, which is in line with the theme of the World Expo facing the future space. Because its top is designed with UFO as the prototype, there is a well-known joke among local residents: it is a special spaceship for the President of the United States to escape to the universe when there is a catastrophe on the earth. Monorail Trams: The Monorail train built for the World Expo is one of the projects that tourists are most willing to experience. The monorail train runs from downtown West Lake Center to Space Needle, with a total length of 2.4 kilometers and a one-way trip of 95 seconds. It costs 50 cents for adults and 35 cents for children. Building this project requires amazing manpower and material resources.

International Fountain: Fountain changes with the rhythm of the music played, and the water column rising into the sky when the music is passionate is quite spectacular. Under the blue sky and white clouds, sitting on a bench by the grass, listening to wonderful music and enjoying the wonderful water dance performance of the fountain is really a very pleasant feeling. There are always many adults and children who love to play with water by the fountain. When the music suddenly becomes stronger, they are often heard screaming and running away, and people around who are enjoying the fountain laugh in unison.
