Never Built: Los Angeles, an exhibition opening this spring at Los Angeles's A+D Architecture and Design Museum, features a collection of spectacular projects that only saw the drawing board. In words, drawings, models, videos and other media the show looks at visionary works that had the greatest potential to reshape the city.

Never Built: Los Angeles explores the “what if” Los Angeles and dares the city to dream big again.

They have finished the research and they have the exhibition design ready. But they need YOUR help, by Kickstarter, to make the show a reality! Check video below.
