This page is laid out like a book. You can either flip
through it page by page, or you can go to a particular page. There are 17 pages of skyscrapers, five designs per page.
Along side each design there is some commentary about cities, and not
necessarily about skyscrapers. But since they are in cities, I figured
this was as good a place as any to put my commentary about cities.
I am so fed up with the plain, brown boxes that dot the skylines of America's
cities. So I drew up more than a 150 so that you can see what I think
should be built. Now I'm no architect. But being a trained architect doesn't
give you an imagination. It only gives you the opportunity to build what
you can think up.
On the other side of the issue are the overwrought creations of people
like Frank Gehry. So far out to fancy that it's hard to conceive of his
buildings ever coming to reality. What I try to do is wind up some where
in the middle.
Here's what I tried to bring to my designs.
In case you get bored with skyscrapers you can always go to one of my other pages:
