| Abstract |
A concept of 'sustainability' has been widely raised as a visible guideline for symbiosis with environment. The plans of World's fair have been recently on the issue as to 'sustainability' too. Meanwhile, it is pointed out that, since 1990s, such a discussion seems to have transformed the World's fair plans as it is regulated as a kind of code of conduct beyond a simple narrative. However, as has been proved, even before 1990s when there was no appearance of the concept of 'sustainability' World's fair were held in accord with the concept of symbiosis with environment (= permanent use of World's fair hall or divert use with other facilities that do not damage global environment etc: I called them endemism in this study.). As such, although the practical use of the World's fair hall before and after the World's fair must be at large interpreted in accordance with the concept of 'sustainability', very little studies have been made in dealing with such matters systematically from the 1st London World's fair on. Accordingly, this study intends to interpret the transformation of utilization plan of the World's fair halls since the 1st London World's fair from the perspective of 'sustainability.' and endemism. |
