The pavilion is of a striking de sign unlike any other building of its kind in the world. The 24,000 square-foot futuristic structure, to rise at the heart of the centennial exposition grounds within the international pardon nf tomorrow, will be used as a pa-1 I'ilinn tn Hknlav tn millions of cen- tennial exposition visitors the use ol forest products in moaern liv ing. The building will remain fol Inwine rinse of the 1939 exposition as a permanent structure and will be donated to the 4-H ciuds 01 Oregon. Announcement of the project came following several meetings of a special forest industries centen nial ,-nmmittee Tinv finuld.

The huge building will consist of seven sweeping hyperbolic para boloids, each 50 feet square, sup ported at just six points. Most unusual feature of the pa vilion is that it is designed to be constructed completely of wooden 2x4's. Each of the 50-foot squares a i II be laminated from straight x4's. Each 2x4 will be offset slight ly from the other to produce a functional surface. Although hyperbolic paraboloids have, been used in building design before, it is believed Uiat this build ing will be the first to use as many as seven of the paraboloids. Adjacent to the building will be constructed a tree farm demon strating the forest industry's pro gram to provide perpetual tree re sources. It is planned to have var ious sizes of trees planted in the area to show the actual develop ment of time in tree farm areas. Financing of the building will come from pro-rated contributions from firms in all phases of the forest products industry In Ore gon.
