[KS] World Expo 1970 Turtle Ship pavilion?

Can't help with photos either, except for this which is all over the 
Interweb:

Maybe following the architect's trace would get you to some journal 
with good shots?  Kim Su-gŭn was after all the father of modern Korean 
architecture, and I would think that he introduced his project in his 
journal _Konggan / SPACE_. It is a very important magazine, GSD 
(Frances Loeb Library) might have a copy, although I think not the 70s 
issues. Maybe you even find something at the magazine's online DB, if 
it goes back that far: http://www.vmspace.com  If not there, search 
other coffee table books on Kim Su-gŭn and the SPACE group. 

Here is well-made professional promo video about the 70' Expo by the 
Australians. It is worth watching, very enjoyable. Maybe the very last 
year in history the world community still believed in a modern future 
through technological advances. The first Japanese nuclear power plants 
went on-line, girls were wearing mini skirts, and Vietnam was not lost 
yet. Great architecture, all over! Today you go to some architecture 
biennale and all you see are small papier-mâché models and computer 
design projections by people having too much fun playing around with 
GoogleSketchup or Autodesk.

Another nice one, a ride with the mono-rail, giving a good idea of how 
impressively large the entire Expo was.
