Projects built and unbuilt

Sorting through the collection…

Jonathan: Shouldn’t we just toss out the projects that were never built?

Sally: He wouldn’t have liked that. He said the unfinished ones were sometimes like sketches of great paintings that were never completed.

Jonathan: There is something grand about the neo-classical parking building.

Sally: Yes, the Depression put paid to that. In contrast, the very modernistic and spartan art gallery did get built.

Sorting through a collection of architectural drawings raises a dilemma. To throw, or not to throw? That which never was built may have been greater than that which was.
