I came across this: http://bldgblog.blogspot.com/2007/01...al-worlds.html which is an artist who builds little models of big buildings and photographs them to look like big, old, empty buildings.

One of the comments in that post took me on a little journey that ended up with Albert Speer, the architect, and "Germania" which was Hitler's vision of a rebuilt Berlin.

Some of the architectural models and drawings are amazing!

This all made me recall a book I hear about on CBC called "Unbuilt Toronto: The City that Never Was" which documents the projects that were never built and proposes what the city might have looked like!
