…but it’s not any more.

“What?” you ask.

Well.

Let’s read a quote:

“Images were first made to conjure up the appearances of something that was absent.”

-John “The Man” Berger

The above images are from the Queens Museum’s “Never Built New York” exhibit. The quote above refers to the idea that art is meant to quantify and represent those things that as of yet remain unseen and intangible. To me, this quote is, in a sense, directly referring to the artworks of architecture and design. The whole purpose of an architect is to bring something new into the world, to conjure up a thing thats’s missing, to add new piece to the jigsaw puzzle of the universe. This quote is all the more applicable to the above design which was deemed impractical and actually never built. It really and truly exists as an artwork that portrays something absent. But, hey. Cool model.
