Pabellón de Francia de la Expo 92, Exhibition pavilion in Cartuja district, Seville, Spain.
The French pavilion was an exhibition building with a 2,500-square-meter blue roof supported by metallic columns above a glass-covered forecourt. The structure housed conference spaces, reception areas, and dining facilities for visitors.
The pavilion was part of the 1992 World Exposition marking 500 years since Christopher Columbus arrived in America. The building operated solely during this event from April to October.
The building contained an imaginary library exhibition across two floors, presenting models of Paris neighborhoods and technological innovations from French industry.
Visitors should understand that the building today is a preserved remnant from a one-time event and no longer fully operational. Viewing from outside provides a good impression of the original architecture and the distinctive roof design.
The centerpiece was an Image Well with a 500-square-meter screen surrounded by mirrors that created an infinite reflection effect for IMAX film screenings. This immersive installation was a notable technical achievement for exhibition experiences at the time.
