arche_757 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Interesting website with major unbuilts with the top of the list showing buildings in Houston. I'm not sure if this is anything new for any one here or not? It doesn't look to be too up-to-date - and it is a tripod website which means its probably quite old? But the first buildings are relevante to the discussion. I'll have some information from the book: The Tall Building Artistically Reconsidered: The Search for a Skyscraper Style by Ada Louise Huxtable later today.

arche_757 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Yep. Sure did. I'll post eventually, but the pictures aren't anything unique, they are/have been on here before (somewhere). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I have that book as well, but I don't recall it having much of anything around unbuilt Houston designs. I'll pull it out this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
