THEN3: Minoru Yamasaki, architect of the U.S. Science Pavilion for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair, appears on the cover of Time magazine on Jan. 18, 1963, amid a gleaming vision of the pavilion, rebranded today as PacSci. Touring the site 17 days before the fair opened, Yamasaki and co-architect Perry B. Johanson told The Seattle Times: “We wanted to create a place of serenity. We wanted visitors to be intrigued as they first see the five towers of the pavilion — and then the visual surprise of pools and fountains.” (Courtesy Time magazine / Seattle Times Archives)
