Text description provided by architect.
Architect Sverre Fehn’s competition entry for the Scandinavian pavilion at the World Fair in Osaka 1970 is part of the Norwegian National Museum – Architecture’s collection.
Fehn’s proposal of a breathing structure where images of Scandinavian nature was to be projected on the expanding and contracting walls did not win the competition and was never realized.
The inflated structure is considered to be atypical in Fehn’s production,
But the iconic images of the flexible, moving structure still have their power.
