- aggregation abstract "In the historiography of modern architecture, world’s fairs have been labelled as laboratories for architects and engineers. Nevertheless, the mass appeal of world’s fairs usually gets the upper hand over innovation in building. As the first post-World War II international and universal exhibition, Expo 58 is an interesting yet complex case in point. Next to the express use of new materials and structures, it was the practice of intense collaboration in “architectural engineering” which was celebrated as an innovative aspect in construction. This was most explicit, as this paper will demonstrate, in the pavilions of the Belgian building industry. The building sector held an important position at the fair: the pavilions representing the Belgian building industries and their activities took up almost 35% of the Belgian Section of Expo 58. This strong representation corresponds with the rise in prestige of the sector after the war: in post-war Europe, “building” was a medium for governments to demonstrate their post-war resurgence. This was also the case in Belgium, where building had become an issue of national importance. As such, Expo 58 was a true challenge to the building sector. Next to the impressive amount of pavilions and exhibits of the building industries, three showpiece structures emphasized the presence and high position of the sector: the Communications Tower (unexecuted), the Arrow of Civil Engineering and the Atomium. Because of their visual impact, these three pavilions became landmarks to the exhibition site as a whole. In addition, as this paper argues, these buildings were marked also by a common mediatizing practice: in the communication on these structures, their commissioners praised and idealized the multidisciplinary approach and design methods. In all three pavilions structural bravura was closely linked with the issue of national prestige, hence the crucial role of the structural engineer. Based on archival research (archives of Expo 58 and private archives of collaborators to the projects) and a close reading of contemporary publications on these structures, this paper sets out to identify the new role of the structural engineer in these projects and to reveal its relation to the theme of the world’s fair.".
