Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion
Hall, Hiroshima Japan -- 2012
Designed by a Czech architect Jan Letzel
(1880-1925), the Hiroshima Prefectural Commercial Exhibition Hall along
the Ota River was completed in April, 1915 and renamed Hiroshima
Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall in 1933. The "Little Boy" U-235
atomic bomb was detonated almost directly above this
building on August 6, 1945. The heat of the explosion immediately melted the
copper-skinned Genbaku Dome.
