 Three great courts will divide the main group of exposition buildings from north to south Their theme will suggest the meeting of the east and west at Panama. One of the huge courts, that on the east, will suggest the Orient, rich in Oriental splendors: another on the west, will suggest the Occident, it's theme ex- employing the wealth which nature has conferred upon the Saxon who has ever pushed to the west. Be tween these two courts will be set the greatest of all the courts, the superb Court Of the Sun and Stars, its theme uron magnified scale symbolizing the union of the east and west at Panama This court will stand out among the most brilliant architectural expressions of America and Europe It will be distinguished by the majestic scale of it's architec- ture by the spleEdor of it's concep- tion. and by it's life. color. and spirit of ioyousness. The color plan of this court as indeed of all the great courts. is designed by Jules Guerin. undoubtedly the foremost decorative artist in America

 In general the buildings of the cen tral group are to be brought into contact with those next adjoining by arcades, courts and archways Through this method of treatment four of the general exhibit palaces of the main group, fronting north upon San Francisco bay but set back at a distance from the waters edge will present a single architectural de sign.
