I read in this month's Surface Magazine that someone proposed a World's Fair with a reinterpreted Trylon, Perisphere and Helicline... with a tower some 1800ft and barges representing each participating country. A bold and ambitious plan, the world's fair has left its share of significant architecture - the Seattle space needle, and of course the Eiffel Tower. Doubt it'll happen, but it would have my vote any day.
