KENYA PAVILION
Inside
the zebra-striped Kenya Pavilion, nature's own transportation and
communications
systems were viewed from the perspective of an aerial safari.
Featured inside were exhibits depicting the rugged terrain and fragile ecosystems that pose a major challenge to transportation. To protect its natural environment, Kenya exhibited a carefully planned system of controlled access routes to its game reserves.
Prominent in the Kenya Pavilion was a sculptural replica of Nairobi's famous Thorn tree -- an ingenious system for visitors to leave messages or to arrange a rendezvous with one another.
