[caption id="attachment_12311" align="alignnone" width="300"] Crystal Palace (Expo Londra, 1851)[/caption]Segnaliamo una ricca bibliografia, integralmente disponibile online, dedicata alle fiere expo universali organizzate nel periodo 1851-2005.La bibliografia, redatta da Alexander C.T. Geppert, Jean Coffey e Tammy Lau e pubblicata anche a stampa [Wolkenkuckucksheim: Internationale Zeitschrift für Theorie und Wissenschaft der Architektur, numero speciale (2000)] con aggiornamenti successivi, riporta circa 1.868 riferimenti bibliografici a documenti relativi a oltre cento esposizioni fieristiche che si sono tenute in 24  paesi nel mondo.Il file è disponibile in formato PDF nell'Archivio istituzionale della Freie Universität di Berlino.Dall'introduzione:«This bibliography grew out of the recognition that research on the history of international exhibitions and world’s fairs is burgeoning and that sources on the topic have proliferated enormously in recent years. As a consequence, the field has grown tremendously and now involves disciplines as diverse as History, Cultural Geography, Urban Studies, Art History and the History of Architecture, among others. This development, however, has made it increasingly difficult to find appropriate research sources. It is hoped that this bibliography will aid in that process. The bibliography is strongest on exhibitions and fairs held in North America and Western Europe although it does include fairs held in other parts of the world. The list starts with research aids and general works first, followed by each country in alphabetical order and then the fairs by date».URL: &#60;http://www.geschkult.fu-berlin.de/e/fmi/astrofuturismus/publikationen/Geppert_-_Expo_bibliography_3ed.pdf&#62;
