several international pavillions (including german nazi, which had several simpathizers in the state due to strong german immigration in the 19th century), but it seems a big part of the pavillions were from different brazilian states (most in art deco)

São Paulo pavillion


Santa Catarina


Pernambuco


Paraná


Pará




Dunno what happened to these nice pavillions though

the park built for the "world fair" is still there at least
