General Motors

          

The towering General Motors pavilion was a white, gleaming, "motion wedge" that stretched 30 meters high and rested on a tubular truss frame structure.

Winding ramps lead up to "The Spirit Lodge" -- a theatre production that presented a moving view of transportation as seen by Canada's First Nations people.  The host onstage was a tribal elder known as "the story teller." Through a process called holavision, the audience was engulfed with haunting smoke images that rose from a campfire, echoing the story teller's mystic words with vision.

Underneath the Spirit lodge, six exhibit areas showecased G.M.'s past and present technologies as well as its latest car models.  The prototype cars contained such futuristic features as satellite navigation.
