Sam Lubell and Greg Goldin have curated a unique architectural exhibition “Never Built New York” at Queens Museum, New York. The exhibition traverses through 150 years of architectural plans, models and renderings that never materialized – featuring the urban visions of legendary architects Richard Morris Hunt, Harvey Wiley Corbett, Frank Lloyd Wright, I.M. Pei, Steven Holl, Daniel Libeskind, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Sanford White, Louis Kahn, Marcel Breuer, Moshe Safdie, Venturi Scott Brown, Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, and Zaha Hadid.Through these unbuilt projects, "Never Built New York" highlights the complex and varied challenges that architects face in getting innovative ideas from concept to development. As Sam Lubell says, the exhibition invites the viewers to explore an alternate history of New York, revealing bold urban visions that would have changed the city beyond recognition, and also serves as a poignant reminder for how ephemeral built visions (and realities) can be. The exhibition is organized in three parts. Rubin Gallery features original materials organized geographically, including a 13-foot-tall model of Steven Holl’s Parallax Towers (1990) and John Rink’s massive 1858 plan for Central Park. Queens Museum houses the world’s largest architectural scale model - more than 70 never built projects including the model of William Zeckendorf’s Midtown Airport. The Skylight Gallery displays unbuilt models and proposals for Flushing Meadows Corona Park."Never Built New York" is on view through February 18, 2018 at Queens Museum, New York City Building, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens, NY 11368.For details, visit: http://www.queensmuseum.org/Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
