A second life for unbuilt architecture

Many architectural ideas remain unrealized: competition entries that weren’t selected, concepts for developments that never proceeded, and independent designs waiting for an opportunity. TakeConcept is being developed for architects with unbuilt work and for investors and future owners looking for an existing architectural concept to acquire and adapt to their own needs and location—with the original architect’s involvement where appropriate.
