1849, Buckingham Palace decided to hold a large-scale international exposition in 185 1 to build a temporary but magnificent exhibition hall.
1849, the British government decided to build a large temporary building on the south side of Hyde Park. In order to avoid damaging the trees in the park, the design scheme of "Crystal Palace" by Joseph Paxton, the royal gardener, was finally adopted, and the greenhouse frame glass structure was creatively applied to the architectural design, so that the trees were protected under the roof.
As a result, this venue, which originally provided exhibitions for exhibits, became the most successful exhibit of the first World Expo.
After the exhibition, the crystal was disassembled, transported to the south of London and reassembled according to a more exquisite design. It has become a place for various performances, exhibitions, concerts and other entertainment activities. 1936165438+1On the evening of October 30th, the Crystal Palace was completely destroyed by fire, and the ruins remained to 194 1 year.
