| Summary: | Forgotten Architecture’ began as a Facebook group, founded in May 2019 and dedicated to researching and unearthing modern architecture around the globe that is not widely known. The publication attempts to recover projects by obscure architects, delve into the work of “minor” figures and unite alternative takes on the history of architecture. In addition, several forgotten projects by renowned architects, such as the house for Arnaldo Pomodoro by Ettore Sottsass and the avant-garde Binishells by Dante Bini, make their appearance alongside resorts, gas stations, drive-in churches, ephemeral inflatable architectures and more. A series of critical essays rounds out the research. |
