From previous bread. Just been having a look through The Guardian websites Unbuilt Cities portal and it's very interesting. Not particularly Q related I thought I'd share. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/series/unbuilt-cities
>Trump Tower – 1989 – Johnson Fain
In LA, Trump bragged he was going to spend a billion dollars on what he claimed would become the world’s tallest building. His architect Bill Fain delivered a gilded 125-storey office tower etched in a diamond-patterned exoskeleton. It would have dwarfed everything in its shadow – looking over one of the city’s poorest immigrant communities. David Martin also devised a skyscraper: ‘When I told Ivana [Trump] the basis of the idea was to put two diamonds together, she lit up,’ Martin said. ‘I think they were divorced a week later.’
Also, there was a plan to build a fucking pyramid in the middle of Trafalgar Square in London (1815).
And finally, some information about Cleopatra's Needle that was originally meant to be erected next to the Houses of Parliament. http://www.londonmylondon.co.uk/?p=2864
Going out now anons. Have fun.
