#joost swarte

Earlier this year I posted about the planned but never completed world’s tallest building, Phare du Monde, designed for the 1937 World Fair in Paris with a winding ramp spiraling all the way up its terrifying altitude. What I didn’t know until reading Dutch cartoonist Joost Swarte’s collection Is That All There Is? this week is that he’d done a story about the very same tower and the same result I’d pictured occurring if the tower had become a reality: SCRBRWBRO!
