Do you remember? Every quarter of a century or so, Switzerland presents itself through a major National Exhibition, which is something of a worldwide unicum. With the “Gulliver Project”, the sixty-year-old edition, the fifth in history after those in Zurich (1883), Geneva (1896), Berne (1914) and Zurich again (1939), sketched in Lausanne a futuristic image of the Helvetic Confederation, presided over by Ludwig von Moos, then in the midst of an economic boom. It was a nation proud of its history, human resources and outstanding industries. It was also the time of great suggestions, but realised in concrete terms: hydroelectric plants, motorways and the introduction of the postal code, the NAP. A computer continuously provided the results of an opinion poll conducted among the visitors of the Vaud expo on the most important current topics and an elevated monorail ran through the entire physical space of the event, designed over an area of six hundred thousand square metres by the great Ticino architect Alberto Camenzind and punctuated by an 83-metre-high viewing tower. In the Cold War period, back in 1964, the happening in the Canton of Vaud did not forget Swiss values: not surprisingly, the Army pavilion in the shape of a hedgehog or hedgehog became one of the symbols of the great Lausanne event. It took place more precisely in Vidy and the Vallée de la Jeunesse, from 30 April to 25 October 1964. The president of Expo Suisse 64 was Gabriel Despland, the administrative manager Edmond Henri. while the financial director was Paul Ruckstuhl. The mayor of Lausanne, who was also a member of the management committee, was Georges-André Chevallaz at the time.
