Truth be told, there are not too many pieces of concept art for the hub of EPCOT Center, the now defunct Communicore. The other Future World pavilions had many renderings, but not this place.
This cutaway version of art displays
wonders to be found inside.
When it opened, the sleek arcs of Communicore unveiled the place for hands on exploration. Allowing guests to put theories into action with a series of games and exhibits, it was the place to take a practical glimpse into a future of living. Sponsors included Bell Labs, the highly respected research arm of what became AT&T.
Proposed but never built.
The home of cute little robot SMRT-1 was found here as was the Astuter Computer Revue and the future of the unrealized Tron Arcade. The area had a lively with an energetic vibe that was lost with later incarnations.
The Imagineers of EPCOT were truly genius in their approach and execution- something later artists and businesspeople were lacking. The park was all the worse for it.
