never realized...

Frank Lloyd Wright’s utopian vision for urban living was never realized.

Lesson / Koan : unreal is real enough.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s utopian vision is realized daily for the following reason.

Is there a single school of architecture on Spaceship Earth that doesn’t mention his name everyday?

Point being, if you’re a Frank Lloyd Wright fan or not, his body of work is undeniably worthy of notice & discussion.

BTW,

The digital Mile High Illinois was designed by a team of students from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design Interactive Spaces course taught by Allen Sayegh.

In 1956, Frank Lloyd Wright proposed a Chicago project called Mile High Illinois, Illinois Sky-City, or The Illinois. The renderings above were presented in the 2009 Frank Lloyd Wright exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum.
