There's public misunderstanding, and surprisingly a huge amount of misunderstanding on this very website as to what is:
A Proposal
A Marketing Concept
Architectural firms sometimes generate concepts for clients to give ideas (or even just for themselves) to gain attention. What then happens is it gets up on the internet:
Firm gets their name out
Public interprets the "project" in different ways.
Some understand the visionary nature of the project as an idea and nothing more, while others mistake it as a real proposal. The public likes renderings and pictures of cool buildings, especially tall ones, so it gets alot of discussion in places like this website. It's all good, but I think Post Office Proposal got some harsh criticism for being too unrealistic. People....It's a CONCEPT. I think moving it to this section of the website was appropriate.
