The original concept for the Canadian Pavilion at Expo 67 was developed by Arthur with Jeffrey Lindsay as a structural engineering consultant. It was a large inverted pyramid open to the sky and functioning as a reception area. On it's base individual exhibit areas were capped with smaller pyramids. The proposal went ahead but with such modifications to detail that Arthur Erickson withdrew.
