[*Modern Ruin* is a documentary](https://vimeo.com/134747206) by filmmaker Matthew Silva. It presents the many lives of the Pavilion--from World’s Fair exhibition space to concert venue to roller rink--and possible paths for its future. The film is a must-see for anyone who has been captivated by Philip Johnson’s structure, either during the ’64 Fair or in the intervening years as it grew into a ruin of American postmodern architecture.
