It would have been cool if some of these were built.

Geez,just imagine TWO Fountain Place towers!

Twin fountain place would have been epic, whats with all the "twin" building proposals, were they all the same architecture firm?

PS: What ever happened to GANIS how did he get banned?

Not just any architectural firm, it was designed by Pei, Cobb & Freed. So much of Dallas's skyline is pure blue chip architecture.

I think Griffen square would have been nice to see with the Dallas Skyline.

I think that Lincoln Center and a fully developed CityPlace complex would be EPIC!!!

Damn, I remember a lot of these. Shame they went kaput.

Looks like 1 WTC

100 stories! That thing definitely would have left a huge foot print downtown!

Same here.

Honestly I think Frank Gehry's buildings are way too overated.

I see you found my flickr gold mine, most of those renderings were things my grandfather saved back in the 80s. There are more here:

We'd love to have the Pacific Place Center renderings added to the flickr group

That's your page? Thank you. I've never been to Texas but I'm a huge fan of post-modern architecture from the 80's and Texas does it well.

diskojoe · March 27th, 2012, 08:32 PM

That is a pretty cool group.
