In celebration of Lou Kahn’s 120th birthday, I was going to suggest one of his buildings. First thing that came to mind was his unbuilt synagogue in Jerusalem, but, to be fair, it’s been done by a number of people.
Even in 3D Warehouse (by galina27)
Any number of his buildings would be great subjects.

The Daniel Johnson dam in Quebec, Canada.
Some informations here:
The Daniel-Johnson dam (French: Barrage Daniel-Johnson), formerly known as Manic-5, is a multiple-arch buttress dam on the Manicouagan River that creates the annular Manicouagan Reservoir.

Read the abovementionned reference to have an idea of its size.
To give an element of comparison, the Ville-Marie Place skyscraper in Montreal with its 45 stories can easily fit inside the central arch. I have been there and, believe me, it is HUGE.

The London Eye.

Found it. I think they are all utopias. I think I had seen some drawings at the time, but not the model images. It seems that mr. Sorkin passed away last year.
