Since I mentioned Unbuilt Toronto, the book, above, I'll add that yes, I wish it was more comprehensive and included a greater share of the significant development proposals which failed.

Looking at the Toronto Pending site and knowing of other subway proposals and projects like Ataratiri, it's obvious there are still a lot of interesting failed projects to delineate. Much of Network 2011 was never built, yet that massive plan is absent from the book.

Lozenge shapes were fashionable in the 60s. Another case is Portland House in London.

If anything, Bucky's plan's got a little of the Empire State Plaza to it.

Which ain't that great.
