Here we have a very interesting collection of some very beautiful designs of architecture. The most interesting fact about these buildings is that they were planned to built but were actually not built due to various reasons.Gaudi American hotel

In 1908 a very unusual design was created by c.The building was named Hotel Attraction. Because it was going to be the tallest building in New York at that time. Its planned height was 360 meters / 1181 ft which was very unique for that time. But later on it was cancelled and was lost in the pages of history.The Illinois Frank Lloyd Wright

The Illinois is the next in the list of the buildings that remained incomplete. It was designed in 1956 by Frank Lloyd Wright. This was also going to be the tallest building almost 1,609 meters/5,280 feet that was really not possible because of the lack of space. It was going to be a 528 stories building.

The next time you plan your fantasy round the world trip don’t forget to list down a visit to the miniature park in Elancourt, which resides the many wonders of France in one comparative, small park. No wonder Victor Hugo had a premonition of this great architectural perfection on which he had quoted, “The image of a thing is much more breathtaking than the thing itself…”. Miniature Park France 1

Its initial magic has remained fresh and strong; and each visit adds to geographic insights about France. The 12-acre park is a miniaturized re-creation of the country.

Villages, churches, Paul Bocuse’s famous restaurant, the Tour Eiffel, the Arc de Triomphe, Chateau of Chambord, Amiens Cathedral and models of about a hundred-fifty of France’s most important historic monuments, touristic and cultural locales — all painstakingly crafted and meticulously detailed.

Nine Overrated Destinations with Nine Great Alternatives

by mudassirAugust 3, 2009 Driving

In my travels around the world, I have seen a lot of conventional sites and a lot of off-the-grid sites too. Besides many other new things, these experiences have made me learn that many of the great destinations for tourists are not always “undiscovered”.
Many spots have a well-deserved name for being cool destinations, and some other locations you have never heard of keep that repute for a good reason. Despite that there are many places which have gained undeserved fame for being a location you “must” see before death – but whenever I have visited them, I have felt a bit disappointment.
