摘要: Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright created just under 1,200 architectural designs during his lifetime. Of those, more than 600 remain unbuilt. Now, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has partnered with Spanish architect David Romero and released renderings of three of Wright's unbuilt towers. Although Wright is known for his criticism of skyscrapers, he remained fascinated by the possibilities of taller buildings in novel forms, according to material released by the foundation. One such design was The Illinois, a mile-high tower planned for the shores of Lake Michigan in Chicago. When it was unveiled at a press conference in 1956, Wright envisioned the tower as the centerpiece to his Broadacre City master plan that he had originally revealed in 1932.
