London Tower Project | Design No. 65

While exploring The Public Domain Review, I stumbled upon an impressive collection of inventive submissions to a London Tower Design Competition held in 1890. This is the first installment of my own interpretations of those ideas that I'm calling the "London Tower Project". The London Tower Design Competition: This competition, which produced some irresistibly imaginative concepts, was the British response to the overwhelming acclaim received by the unveiling of Eiffel Tower in Paris in 1889. At the end of the competition DESIGN No. 37 by Stewart, McLaren and Dunn was chosen to be built in Wembley Park, but unfortunately after a series of issues with the foundation and funding the project was abandoned in 1892 and the remaining structure removed a few years later in 1905. With the exception of DESIGN No. 37, these remarkable concepts never saw the light of day until now! My London Tower Project aims to explore the imagination of past generations through the actualization of these design submissions.
