They still do world’s fairs? This is the reaction you get when you tell people you are working on a project to create a pavilion the for the U.S. presence at the next world’s fair. And yet Expo Milano is not just a visitor success, with some 20 million visitors expected. It is a global gathering with more than 145 participating countries coming together to address one of the most important issues facing our collective future: how will we feed 9 billion people by 2050 in the midst of climate change, resource depletion, and economic inequality? The process of taking that topic, distilling the American perspective, translating it for a global audience, and still making it fun and interesting enough for the families who come just because it’s a world’s fair will be the topic of this presentation.
