Synopsis

Every city keeps two archives: the buildings it chooses to remember, and the far larger world it lives in and forgets. This
book is about the second.

At its heart, the book argues that architecture is not merely about buildings; it is about people, power, memory, culture, climate, and the ways we live together. It questions why certain buildings are celebrated while others are dismissed, why some architects enter history while others remain unnamed, and why local knowledge is often undervalued in favour of established architectural traditions.

Through stories, critical reflections, and original drawings, the book invites readers to look again at the familiar and recognise the architectural intelligence hidden in ordinary places.

Ultimately, The Architecture We Forgot is a call to broaden the architectural record, to recover overlooked histories, challenge inherited assumptions, and recognise that some of the most consequential architecture may be found not in the buildings we celebrate, but in the everyday environments we have learned to overlook.
