48. Part of the neon ceiling wonderland of 'Times Square'
The
neon
ceiling of Times Square was one of the largest neon installations in
the world. On the theme of 'Time', the rapidly pulsing and changing
coloured neon-light patterns were an Expo evening sight to see - and
were located in the centre of the Expo site, near the popular European
Boulevard, and the Pavilions of the USA, Spain, Fujitsu, amongst
others. The intricate neon matrix was 7.5km long, and was designed by
Ken Cato, also author of the World Expo '88 sunsails logo. The heritage
listed building in the foreground was built in 1885 and housed the
Expo's official bank, Westpac Banking Corporation, Australia's oldest
bank (formerly known as the Bank of New South Wales), where Banking and
Bureau de Change facilities were provided for staff and visitors alike.
