![]() The next World Expo will take place in Osaka, Kansai, Japan between 13 April and 13 October 2025. The most recent World Expo took place in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, between 1 October 2021 and 31 March 2022. They are large-scale platforms for education and progress that serve as a bridge between governments, companies, international organisations, and citizens. In the modern era, World Expos are unrivalled among international events in their size, scale, duration and visitor numbers. Since the BIE was created in 1928 to regulate and oversee these mega-events, World Expos have explicitly been organised around a theme that attempts to improve humankind’s knowledge, takes into account human and social aspirations and highlights scientific, technological, economic and social progress. The concept became popular and was repeated across the globe, demonstrating an unparalleled power of attraction and a record of world-class legacies. The first World Expo – the Great Exhibition – took place in London in 1851. Every five years, a city takes its turn to host the occasion, which lasts six months at a time and invites every country in the globe to take part in showcasing the best of what they have to offer. World Expos welcome tens of millions of visitors, allow countries to build extraordinary pavilions and transform the host city for years to come. The World Expo is one of the oldest and biggest events on the planet. To celebrate the opening of Expo Milano 2015 tomorrow, we’ve rounded up a few of history’s most noteworthy World Expositions to take a closer look at their impact on architectural development.World Expos, officially known as International Registered Exhibitions, are a global gathering of nations dedicated to finding solutions to pressing challenges of our time by offering a journey inside a universal theme through engaging and immersive activities. Many masterworks such as Mies van der Rohe’s German Pavilion (better known as the Barcelona Pavilion) for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition are so wholeheartedly devoted to their conceptual approach that they could only be possible in the context of an Exposition pavilion. This carte blanche of sorts allows architects to eschew many of the programmatic constraints of everyday commissions and concentrate on expressing ideas in their purest form. ![]() World’s fairs inevitably encourage competition, with every country striving to put their best foot forward at almost any cost. But what is it about Expos that seem to create such lasting architectural landmarks, and is this still the case today? Throughout history, each new Expo offered architects an opportunity to present radical ideas and use these events as a creative laboratory for testing bold innovations in design and building technology. Many of our most beloved monuments were designed and constructed specifically for world’s fairs, only to remain as iconic fixtures in the cities that host them. Contents 1 Category 2 List by date 2.1 Planned expositions 2. 1 This list does not include BIE-recognised International Horticultural Exhibitions. World Expos have long been important in advancing architectural innovation and discourse. The designation 'World Exposition' refers to a class of the largest, general scope exhibitions of up to 6 months' duration. ![]() In demonstrating just how delicate the construction of a tangible national identity can be this latest exhibition at the HNI offers up a sincere speculative base for self-reflection. Now, seventy years later, Rotterdam is a very different place. Following the war Rotterdam was forced to rebuild itself, carving out a new place on the world stage and reestablishing its importance as an international port. Rotterdam, which was blitzed and decimated during the Second World War, is a place well suited to host an exhibition whose underlying theme centres on the fragile, often precarious notion of national self-image. Now at the halfway point of the six month long World Expo in Milan, in which 145 countries are participating in a concentration of national spectacle surrounding the theme of "feeding the planet," Rotterdam's Nieuwe Instituut (HNI)-the centre for architecture in the Netherlands-is exhibiting an altogether more reflective display of national civic pride. ![]() Sustainability and Performance in Architectureīased on a circular framework inspired by Frédéric Le Play's design for the 1867 WE in Paris in which the 14 historic Dutch World fair entries are 'equal'.

![]() Pages 4 and earlier could also import AppleWorks word processing documents, and export documents to rich text, but those features were removed until Pages 6.1. Pages can import some Microsoft Word documents (including Word 2007's Office Open XML format ). Tables and charts pasted from Numbers are automatically updated if the original spreadsheet is changed. The mail merge feature was completely removed in version 5 and it did not return until version 12.1. For example, if a user wanted to send one letter to three people, mail merge allowed the user to create a single document with placeholder fields that were populated when printing. Earlier versions featured mail merge, which automatically populated custom fields with contact data from the Address Book or Numbers apps to create personalized documents. The "Full Screen" mode (introduced in Mac OS X Lion) and supported in Pages 4.1 hid the menubar and toolbars, allowing users to focus on a single document without being distracted by other windows on the screen however, after Pages 5, full-screen mode requires the user to manually hide various panes for focused writing and the page thumbnails pane does not automatically open when the cursor is moved to the left screen edge. Many of these have been stripped out of the current version. Pages used to feature several other advanced writing tools. Images and text can be placed anywhere on the canvas. In page layout mode, users have complete control over the position of objects on the page. Users can also add comments alongside the document. Pages tracks changes by users by displaying each person's edits in different colors. Users can collaborate with others on a document. In word processing mode, Pages supports headers and footers, footnotes and outline, and list creation. A separate Inspector window provides almost all formatting options available for any element in the open document.īeginning in iWork '08, word processing and page layout are two distinct modes. When an image is selected, the format bar displays tools to adjust opacity, show and hide shadow and reflection effects and mask the image. When text is selected, the format bar enables users to choose fonts, text size, and color, and to adjust line spacing and alignment. In addition, the document window contains a contextual format bar that allows one-click formatting of text and adjustments to images. Įach document window contains a toolbar, which gives one-click access to commonly used functions such as inserting objects (text boxes, shapes, tables, charts, and comments), uploading the document to, and adding additional pages. Users can drag and drop music, movies, and photos directly into Pages documents from the Media Browser window. The Media Browser provides quick access to media from iTunes, iMovie and Photos. When Pages is first opened, users are presented with a template chooser which allows them to start with a blank document or with a predesigned template - including a basic, report, letter, résumé, envelope, business card, flyers & posters, cards, miscellaneous and a newsletter section of templates - that contains placeholder text and images which can be replaced by dragging and dropping photos from the Media Browser. Pages is a word processor and page layout application. Some of these missing features were put back over the next releases but the current version (12.1) still lacks features from version 4.3, including the ability to select non-contiguous regions of text, advanced find/replace functions, and more. In this release, many templates, as well as some advanced features that were available in version 4.3, were not included. On October 23, 2013, Apple released a redesign with Pages 5.0 and made it free for anyone with an iOS device. Pages for iOS 1.7.1 introduced better compatibility with Word and Pages for Mac and version 1.7.2, released on March 7, 2013, merely added stability improvements and bug fixes. Pages for OS X was updated to version 4.3 on December 4, 2012, to support Pages 1.7 for iOS, which was released on the same day. iOS Pages was updated to version 1.6 on March 7, 2012, and will only run on iOS 5.1 or later. On October 12, 2011, Apple updated the iOS app to version 1.5, adding the iCloud "Documents in the Cloud" feature. ![]() On May 31, 2011, Apple updated the iOS version of Pages to 1.4, bringing universal binaries, allowing the app to be run on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch devices. On January 27, 2010, Apple announced a new version of Pages for iPad with a touch interface. ![]() On January 6, 2009, Apple released the fourth version of Pages as a component of iWork '09.

However, you should be aware that alternate web browsers will be lagging behind the original projects when it comes to security updates. ![]() I’m not trying to convince you not to explore different web browsers. I reached out to the project’s account on Twitter (no other point of contact was provided on the project’s website), but haven’t heard back. They appear to have dropped the ball on the second security update, however. Waterfox is mostly a one-man project, but managed to deliver the first security update in a timely manner. Their project commit log shows that a developer had done the work required to update their codebase on Monday, but it still took them until Friday to push out the update. The Tor Project caters to people who need strong security and privacy, and it’s good to see them keeping up with the latest developments.Ĭliqz was slower, and took three days to release the first update, and then didn’t release the second update until I prompted them about it a week later for this article. The Tor Browser was quick to release an update for both issues. Pale Moon is a true project fork from Firefox and no longer shares the vulnerable components that were affected by the recent security issues. Both the current and EST versions of Firefox were vulnerable to the zero-day security issues.
