Architect: Phelps & Simmons & Assoc. – San Antonio, TX
Exhibit Designer: The Displayers, Inc. – New York, NY
“The General Electric pavilion at HemisFair’ 68 brings the light touch of Broadway deep into the heart of Texas with a sprightly two-act musical featuring a filmed “GEnie” and a typical young southwestern homemaker. Electrical living, one of the most remarkable developments of the 20th Century, is the theme of the exhibit”. (HemisFair Guidebook, 1968)
This pavilion showcased the latest modern electrical amenities and shared GE’s ideas on the technology of tomorrow. Some areas of the pavilion were dedicated to displaying some of the latest advancements in automotive research.
