Initially founded as a Facebook group in May 2019, Forgotten Architecture’s goal is to research and unearth the not so known modern architecture worldwide. The virtual experience is now translated into printed. Ephemeral architecture, gas stations, discos, vacation resorts, houses, and playgrounds: the publication uses the “architectural categories” most frequently featured in the group as guiding themes, providing for each project a collection of photographic materials, documents, and drawings from prominent professional firms, institutions, and private archives—such as Fornasetti, Gaetano Pesce, Nanda Vigo, Vitra.

The book, published by NERO Editions and edited by Bianca Felicori, is produced thanks to the support of the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture under the Italian Council program (12th edition, 2023), and is sponsored by RESIDENZA 725.
