At EXPO in Osaka the Soviet Union once again surprised the public by its pavilion. The form of the building, according to the designer’s intention, symbolized a red flag. Concave surface of the facade was trimmed with red plates, making a grand building (109 m) unusually impressive against the background of blue sky. The total area of the Soviet pavilion was 25 thousand sq. m., including 13 thousand sq. m. of exhibition. Theme of the exhibition was presented by seven sections, among them: "Man and the City", "Man - the creator", "Science and technology serving a man", etc. At the “flagstaff” of the building there was the pavilion of space, where models of spacecraft were presented, "cosmic" lights blinked and "cosmic" music sounded.
