Even if it's not finished, but the steel reinforcements on the inside gives it a very special interior! cables from the ceiling... amazing. Big place, i had the chance to walk for hours in it and take nice photos! i guess the goverment won't be interested ENOUGH to finish it, for the moment... it's sad! if someone knows what are the original functions of each volume in the fair site... what neimeyer original concept was for each element.. i would like to know! :) i did visit the International fair of tripoli very lately… it’s a very nice place, nice architecture. especially the interior of the Dome!

Believe me, I'm one of Niemeyer's biggest fans, but judging from these photo's I don't see any development in his sculpture. Maybe I should study the plan a bit better, or wait untill it's finished constructing (if this day ever comes). By the way, normally architects don't choose the location/country where they build a certain project. It seems like a collection of all the works he did.

It is very sad to see countries like these spending so much money on someone's ego.
