Designed by Cuban architects G. Baroni, Vittorio Gorati, and Hugo d’Acosta, with support from local architects Gagnon & Rousseau (Quebec), the Cuba Pavilion was a daring temporary structure. It featured interlocking geometric forms with a steel frame and aluminum walls coated in white vinyl, accented by colorful glass and plastic domes. This design reflected the innovative and dynamic spirit of the Cuban Revolution. The pavilion housed exhibitions across three levels, highlighting Cuba’s advancements since 1959 in areas such as education, healthcare, and industry. It also included a restaurant and bar, offering Cuban specialties and iconic cocktails like the “Cuba Libre” and the “Daiquiri.” Source: CCWE, Descriptions of Expo 67 pavilions, national and para-national, as written by the participants themselves.
