              Exterior view photograph. Man in the Community (left) and Man and his Health (right) Pavilion exteriors (lot A-240). The Man and His Health and the Man in the Community pavilion shared a lot on the Expo grounds and were connected by landscaped terraces. Identical materials (B.C. Fir) and formal language (hexagonal rings) were used to as a strategy to intergrate the two pavilions. --- The Man and his Health Pavilion was designed as an inward facing building. Exhibits were located along the opaque hexagonal perimeter. Five large sectors featured differing themes using a combination of graphic walls and free standing modular islands. The exhibitions told the stories of the health problems of Man in different part of the world. A group of medical specialists named "The Health Team" were present, and the acheivements and advances in medical and health sciences were celebrated. At the core of the building stood a theatre which featured live demonstrations on six stages. Named the "Meditheatre", the performers on the central stage demonstrated aspects of medical skills. The show could be viewed form two spiral viewing ramps which were the pavilion's primary interior design feature. --- The Man in the Community Pavilion brought its layers of hexagonal rings to a peak, distinguishing the pavilion from its neighbour. The structure houses and lavish central garden and a pond. The top of the roof structure was left open to allow natural light and rain water to enter. The central garden winds through the pavilion forming landscaped courtyards and delimiting space for six enclosed exhbition theatres. Hexegonal rings rotated and stacked. Structural steel with stained, rought B.C. fir wood planking (MAN AND HIS HEALTH: S: Hexagonal shape: 100' length of each wall, 200' across --- A: 26,000 sq. ft. --- H: 42' MAN IN THE COMMUNITY: S: 285' (base diameter) --- A: 50,000 sq. ft. --- H: 140')
