The [[1939 New York World's Fair]] marked a turning point in architecture between Art Deco and modern architecture. The theme of the Fair was the ''World of Tomorrow'', and its symbols were the purely geometric trylon and periphery sculpture. It had many monuments to Art Deco, such as the Ford Pavilion in the [[Streamline Moderne]] style, but also included the new International Style that would replace Art Deco as the dominant style after the War. The Pavilions of Finland, by [[Alvar Aalto]], of Sweden by [[Sven Markelius]], and of Brazil by [[Oscar Niemeyer]] and [[Lúcio Costa]], looked forward to a new style. They became leaders in the postwar modernist movement.{{Sfn|Bony|2012|page=128}}
