After showing the picture to a collegue, it doesn't exist anymore and I wasn't
born yet, the inverted pyramid was "Katimavik" the canadian pavillon, other
building like in front of the picture with the top floor at 45º angle look like

The monorail station look like the "Expo express" a surface metro car pulled by
train locomotive.
