The 1958 Brussels International Exposition, as had been the prior case for the 1937 Paris and 1939 New York World's Fairs, provided a forum for international designers, architects and manufacturers to offer the public an anticipated vision of the future. Perhaps more so than any other architectural structure of its time, the Atomium articulates the obsession with atomic and molecular structures that characterised much progressive design in the 1950s.
