Oscar built it is was for the international EXPO, that happened in every country. the building with the arches is the Lebanese hall. the dome is a planetarium. i’m Lebanese, and the fair is just in front of my house, when i was little i used to play on top of the dome, and i went in every corner of the fair, before it was renovated. so it is really a shame the my government didn’t use it as an international fair for our country, because it all about politics, in Beirut our capital the politicians and big money people built their own small exhibitions and they are using it, and all are backed up by the government, so they will not use the Tripoli fair in a million years, only if a billionaire came and took it as an investment for 99 years.

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!
