"The exhibition designer is today aware
of the wellnigh insoluble problems presented by the flow of
huge crowds through display pavilions – in Osaka there
were half a million visitors per day – and of the jostling
and queueing that result. Apart from the physical starin of
such crushes, the single visitor is also prevented from planning
and timing his calls and his viewing routes. With all thgis
in his mind, the designers of the Swiss Pavilion decided that
their area should be an Oasis of calm and relaxation where
the visitor could recover from the thousands of of impressions
and sensations he had been exposed to elsewhere. At the same
time it had to over something that would linger agreeably
in his memory."
Ernst Hiestand "The Swiss Pavilion"
Graphis 150 (Special Issue Expo 70), S.321.
