Festive fabrics

摘要

For centuries, fabric pavilions have enlivened festivals and great events. Zaha Hadid brings a 21st century update to festive structures with a salute to one of America's greatest architects and urban visionaries-Daniel Burnham. The lead architect for the 1892 Columbian Exposition (immense but also temporary), Burnham is best known for saying "Make no small plans." His later 1909 Plan for Chicago with its regional planning perspective and exquisite bird's-eye views of radiating Parisian avenues was anything but small.
