The Venice project was defined after analysing the designs put forward for the city by the greatest architects of the 20th century, but which never saw the light of day: it's a belated tribute to those abandoned attempts to change the appearance of a place that had remained the same for hundreds of years. With astounding objectiveness, Dionisio Gonzalez photographs the areas that should have housed those buildings and, using modern retouching techniques, inserts the renderings of the buildings to recreate them with the aid of the original drawings and projects of Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Khan - a tribute to Palladio and a reinterpretation of Ignazio Gardella's Condominio Cicogna.

That FLW proposal is quite nice.
I thought about doing this in Chicago with some unbuilt and destroyed FL Wright and HH Richardson Projects...
Nice job!
