A short history of the Universal Expositions. Oddities and the inventions that have changed our way of life: the Singer sowing machine displayed in the Expo of Paris of 1855; the light bulbs; the ice-maker and the porcelain teeth presented at the EXPO of 1878; the telephone, the telegraph, the typewriter and... Ketchup. Television, nylon and air-conditioning were presented at this EXPO of New York of 1939. And Milan?
The document discusses changing perceptions of China and Chinese goods in the West from 1500 to present. In the 1500-1800 period, Europeans had a romanticized view of China and developed "Chinoiserie" styles inspired by Chinese goods. From 1978 onward, views shifted negatively as cheap Chinese imports were seen as a threat and "Made in China" goods faced criticism over poor quality, labor conditions, and environmental standards. The West now views China's national image with both positive associations from the past and new negative perceptions related to its economic rise.

The 1920s saw a period of optimism following World War I. New technologies like radio and skyscrapers emerged during this boom time. Women gained more freedom as flappers and gained the right to vote. An exhibition in Paris in 1925 showcased the emerging Art Deco style, which was influenced by various artistic movements. The discovery of King Tut's tomb in 1922 also sparked interest in Egyptian styles that further influenced Art Deco designs globally.
The document summarizes the rebirth of cities in Europe during the High Middle Ages from the 11th to 13th centuries. Agricultural innovations like the triennial rotation and iron plough increased food production and allowed the population to grow from 36 to 80 million. The surplus population moved to cities to sell extra crops and buy goods, stimulating new industries and the rise of trade guilds and international fairs. This urban growth produced a new social class, the bourgeoisie, and led to political changes like the establishment of parliaments. Culturally, this era saw the rise of Gothic architecture, universities, and more realistic paintings and sculptures.

The 1893 Chicago World’s Columbian Fair and The City Be.docxmattinsonjanel
The 1893 Chicago World’s Columbian Fair
and
The City Beautiful Movement
This week we will consider the ways in which Grand Manner planning gained
momentum in the later part of the nineteenth century and early part of the
twentieth. In particular, we will look at City Beautiful plans of cities such as
Washington D.C., Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Before we look at
these plans, however, we’ll start with an exploration of an event in the U.S. that
not only provided the momentum for the U.S. plans we’ll discuss, but also
embodied much of the cultural ideology behind them. This event was the
1893 Columbian World’s Fair, hosted in Chicago.
World’s fairs – or world’s expositions – originated in the
nineteenth century as popular venues for celebrating
recent accomplishments in technology, industry,
agriculture and culture. As Julie K. Rose puts it,
“They were arenas where manufacturers sought to
promote products, where states and provinces
competed for new residents and new investments,
where urban spaces were organized into shimmering
utopian cities, and where people from all social classes
went to be alternately amused, instructed, and diverted
from more pressing concerns. Memorialized in songs,
books, buildings, public statuary, city parks, urban
designs, and photographs, fairs were intended to frame
the world view not only of the hundreds of millions who
attended these spectacles, but also the countless
millions who encountered the fairs secondhand.”
The first major nineteenth century fair took place in
London in 1851. This fair took place in the impressive
and modern cast-iron and plate glass Crystal Palace in
Hyde Park, featuring displays of the latest developments
in industrial technology. The “golden era” of these
elaborate cultural exhibits followed this London
exposition. Fifty-nine major fairs took place between
1851 and the 1915-16 fair in San Diego, California.
Some of the most culturally significant of these
expositions include the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in
Philadelphia, the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris,
and the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

More than showcases of achievement and progress, world’s fairs were also artifacts
of their times. Looking back on the wealth of material culture, imagery and literary
influence that the fairs produced, we can consider these highly celebrated events
as a way of understanding the social, cultural and political milieu from which they

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

2. Welcome to the incredible universe of the World Expos!
I went to the market of birds
And I bought birds
For you, my love
I went to the market of flowers
And I bought flowers
For you, my love
I went to the market of ironwork
And I bought chains
Heavy chains
For you my love
And then I went to the market of slaves
And I looked for you
But I did not find you there, my love
In the beginning there were the markets.
The Arabs called the market “souk.” The Persians “bazaar.” The
Spanish “mercado.” The French people “marche.” One French poet
named Jacques Prevert created a poem about marches.
3. And people saw, that the market
was good and created the fair.
16. From every subject in our daily round can be organized a
specialized exhibition – electronics, furniture, computers.
17. Expos are mostly about sharing ideas and
welcoming the future of technology
18. The 19 Century must
have been the most
exciting period for
living from the tech
point of view.
19. In the beginning of the century, weeks had to pass, so that a message can
cross the ocean. By the end thanks to electromagnetism and the
telegraph, a man could communicate in a blink, no matter the distance.
Telephone engineer hanging
on a wire
21. Railways crossed the land, which meant you
didn’t have to ride in stinky horse carriages.
22. Ships did no longer not depend on winds
to arrive at the destination.
23. This is the century in which the science takes control
and it is already a reputable occupation.
24. In 1825
the first typewriter
was produced.
It was presented
at the Centennial
International
Exhibition
of 1876,
the first official
World Expo
in Philadelphia, USA
25. In 1868 the first traffic lights was noticed in London in front of the
parliament buildings: those were gas lanterns installed on posts and
turned on by policemen They were placed there to stop the traffic,
when the deputies crossed the road. In March 2013, Expo Traffic, a
leading exhibition for traffic safety products, took place in Moscow.
26. If you are tired by all these giddy advertisements about jeans
– blame Oscar Levi Straus, who in 1850 cut the first pair from
a tent. Nowadays we have China Expo for Apparel and Clothing.
27. The Ferris Wheel
1893 Chicago World’s Fair
For the first time
presented the Ferris Wheel
“…the Ferris wheel
carried its passengers high
and brought them low
and raised them high
and brought them low again,
as if it were not
merely a carnival ride
but also a metaphor
for the basic pattern
of human experience.”
34. Multiple new technologies
have developed in the past
40 years, which changed
our daily round more than
ever.
The most basic contribution
has been electronics
and digital computers.
36. the miracle of getting connected by phone, and of motion
pictures. Movies, X-rays, toothpaste – it is miraculous how
many products of civilization that we believe we can not do
without, have enriched our lives in the last century.
37.
38. Trade fair and Expo organizers,
Here is some advice
to prepare you
for your next Expo
- Create a clear
marketing message
For instance,
Coca-Cola’s campaign
is called:
“Open Happiness”
41. Here are two ideas for booth design
for a wedding Expo. Focus on creating a soulful space.
42. Fairs were organized
in the developed and
materially progressed
countries.
They aimed at presenting
technological innovation.
At colonial pavilions
the countries showcased
the exotic production
of their colonies.
The ethnographic culture
of the so called
“primitive people”
were amazingly attractive
for the visitors of the Expo.
45. The Triumph of Art Nouveau
If the Great Exhibition
in the Crystal Palace
marked the pinnacle
of the Industrial era,
the Exposition Universal
reflected the evolution
of the industry
and the decorative arts.
Art Nouveau is defined as
a total art style embracing
architecture,
graphic art, interior design,
and most of the decorative arts
including jewelry, furniture,
textiles, household silver
and other utensils and lighting,
as well as the fine arts.
According to the philosophy of the
style,
art should be a way of life.
Everything should be
beautiful and artistic
– the terraces, the lighting bodies,
the sofas, painted glass everywhere,
where you live,
what you wear.
46. The Palace Of Electricity
The Palace of electricity was
a pavilion, which provided
the energy for the entire Expo
49. In World Expos each country proudly presents
its pavilion in the most artistic of ways.
Each Expo has a theme such as:
“The World of Tomorrow” – NY’s World Fair, 1940
“Peace Through Understanding” – NY’s World Fair
“Progress and Mankind” – Brussels 1958
50. EXPO THEMES
1851 - The Great Exhibition – Industry of All Nations

2000 – Expo – Hanover – Humankind, Nature, Technology
2005 – Expo – Aichi – Nature’s Wisdom

51. The goal of a World Expo is
to improve awareness
and find solutions
to universal issues
of our times
such as urbanism
in Expo Shanghai 2010
or nutrition
in Expo Milan 2015.
These issues are
the "theme" of the Expo.

understand the
magnitude of the
whole event:
• 160 000 m2
• 69 meters high.
• It was painted in red,
the color of wealth
and happiness in
Chinese culture
62. In 2020 Dubai says hello to the world’s exhibitors.
Dubai literally sprang out of the desert in the last several decades,
so everything there is a new, fascinating investment.
At daytime it’s the brightest place in the world,
while at night – it looks like a place saying hello from the future.
63. The BIE was created in 1928.
Its mission is to guarantee the quality of Expos
and protect the rights of their organizers and participants.
69. The Future Of Expos:
Predictions of children
for the technologies of the future
“Cars will have
wings and will
be pink,
golden, silver,
purple and
black.”
Sarah
76. World Expos have
a purpose and mission.
First and foremost to facilitate trade
and investment opportunities
To create an environment
of love, live with passion
and make the most exciting
businesses and technologies
come true.
World Fairs are meant
To facilitate the human achievements.
To advertise, to create, to inspire.
They are very concentrated
on human abilities and ideas
and their realization in technologies.
They are focused on human
achievements and human spirit,
The strive for perfection, the battle.
Everything we need is inside.
