Sadly, as 9/11 showed, the moral-philosophic structures necessary to hold up such a structure are not present. (Not that I would oppose the project.)

I've ever faith that the edifice is possible.  I can't think of a living architect with the ambition (or the discourtesy, possibly) of taking the project and realising it.  Wow, what a structure!
 
I'd be excited to see a lot of the FLW unbuilts finally resurrected and erected.  There's vaults of his work in Spring Green and at Taliesin, all of them beautiful.  I like looking at the drawings of his dreams more than the photos of some of the houses that are built by his design.  They seem so compromised in person, while a sketch leaves nothing but the building as focus.  No neighbors to average the integrity of the building.  It's a case of "this is it, what I had in mind."  It's pure on paper.

Thanks for noticing my post, and giving me credit - and also for not misspelling my name :-)
