It should be said that these were never serious proposals.

West Athens Towers
Could mark a new constructive age in Greece.

Browsing through this thread, I'm actually glad some, if not, most of these proposals got the boot

You're right, it looks like Hudson Yards

Very nice design, one of the best in this topic. Too bad it is cancelled.

This tower would also fit perfecly in the city of London.

One of my favorites was Nashville's Signature tower:

Well, actually the most of the projects were inadequate. I'm really glad that they are cancelled. With maybe only few exceptions (e.g. Signal Tower in Paris looks just in the right place).

As for the "skyscraper" proposed for Brussells..it is total stupidity ( I mean the place there it was supposed to be built).

Kanto · December 23rd, 2011, 03:57 PM

If only some of my favourite cancelled designs were later built taller than originaly planned

i hope one of your favorite building is the illinois or something

Kanto · December 23rd, 2011, 07:42 PM

I like the Illinois, it's a beautiful building but I wouldn't call it my favourite. My favourites are the Trump Twin Towers 2, the Chicago World Trade Center and the Schaumburg Space Needle

Be glad that the Russian skyscraper and the one in Chicago will never be built. The one in Chicago looks like a long, slim tampon and the Russian one looks like one of those oppressive pyramids from 1984.
