Many architects have portfolios full of projects that were never built, and Frank Lloyd Wright is no exception. Now, however, the Buffalo Pierce-Arrow museum in New York has brought one of Wright’s more imaginative conceptual projects to life. In this article from Metropolis, we are introduced to a gas station designed by Wright for his (also unbuilt) Broadacre City project.
Frank Lloyd Wright boasts a portfolio of more than 500 built projects—an impressive amount that pales in comparison to his unbuilt work. These schemes included, among several fancificul ideas, a new agra-centered city to revitalize the country. Indeed, American urbanism might have taken a very different route had his sweeping Broadacre vision been fully realized.
