In contrast to
the landscaping and architecture of Future
World West, Future World East features angular
designs, sculpted plantings and metallic
colors in keeping with the more technological
theme
of its
pavilions.
As you wander
around Future World, you may notice a purple
bench with solar panels. This isn't a mere
decoration, the solar panels actually provide
energy for the fans and lighting on the bench,
creating a futuristic resting spot for the
weary guest!
The sculpture
that still stands near the entrance of the
(now closed) Wonders of Life pavilion is
not just a piece of abstract art. It's a
76-foot, 25-ton double helix tower inspired
by the structure of the DNA molecule.
