This is a period of the emerging of mass
market. It is a period when people becomes globalized that makes the technology
of building spread into different part of the world by the world expo. With the
first world expo was held that the Crystal palace that was designed by Joseph
Paxon with the Used of iron and glass, while the interior is done by Owen Joan.
There is an issue of alienness of the building that Joan has to deal with
because at that time there is no one makes such a big building out of glass.
Joan turned the alienness of the building into the decoration of the building.
I personally like this building as it is the great invention of the
construction of technology and as thinking as people that dress like characters
from Downton Abbey and walk in a glass
building. It gives out such an odd feeling that people there would have felt
that they are in the future world. Another world expo, the Columbus world expo
took place in Chicago. I would say that I appreciate people back then for
building the entire city within four months. However, it is too bad that
everything was burned down in the great Chicago fire. And that actually makes
this windy city became a city of architecture in the present time.
