unbuilt works, on-going works, built works
revisited -- new competitions, pre-qualifications, competition results,
exhibitions, reviews -- delicious tidbits,
appalling statistics, useless scholarship

- City of Science
Telecommunication Tower, Valencia,
Spain 1989 - Santiago Calatrava
Aspired to be, with its 80-story plus, one of the highest
structures in Europe. The project comprised an hemispherical
cinema/planetarium, a 100-metre nave for a science museum and a
three-legged futuristic telecommunications needle/tower. Only the
foundations have been completed. (totem4.97)

earth" (156 sq.m.)
Caricature and cartoon museum, Basle 1976
- Jacques Herzog & Pierre de Meuron
-- "a sensational understatement" (wa); "... remain
committed exclusively to their fundamental
architectural enquiries, regardless of the scale and
the importance of their brief..." (domus)

"One can imagine Johnson running for president but never Charles Moore, Bruce Goff, Michael Graves or Robert Venturi ... He has the acceptable public image; they, more serious and creative architects ... are too easily identifiable with one subculture or another." (Jencks C, "Epigrams on Philip Cortelyou Johnson," ad_Aug/Sep79)
