The Trylon and Perisphere were two monumental modernistic structures designed by architects Wallace Harrison and J. Andre Fouilhoux that were together known as the Theme Center of the 1939 New York World's Fair. The Perisphere was a tremendous sphere, 180 feet (55 m) in diameter, connected to the 610-foot (190 m) spire-shaped Trylon by what was at the time the world's longest escalator. The Perisphere housed a diorama by Henry Dreyfuss called Democracity which, in keeping with the fair's theme "The World of Tomorrow", depicted a utopian city-of-the-future. The interior display was viewed from above on a moving sidewalk, while a multi-image slide presentation was projected on the dome of the sphere.

rdfs:comment	Le Trylon et la Perisphere sont deux structures modernistes monumentales de l'Exposition universelle de New York de 1939-1940 dont le thème était « le monde de demain ». Elles ont été imaginées par les architectes Wallace Harrison et J. Andre Fouilhoux. La Perisphere, à l'époque la plus grande sphère au monde avec ses 55 m de diamètre, accueille un diorama d'Henry Dreyfuss intitulé « Démocracité », qui, en accord avec le thème de l'exposition, dépeint une ville utopique du futur. Cette sphère est reliée au Trylon, une pyramide de 186 m de haut, par un escalier mécanique, le plus long de l'époque. Les deux monuments ont été démontés pour l'effort de guerre, juste avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
