Fantastic Architecture

Architecture that was drawn but never built, and what those unbuilt drawings were really arguing for.

No limit

Some of the most influential architecture of the last two centuries was never built. Drawings made as arguments, as protests, and occasionally as jokes, which went on to change what the built world looked like anyway.

Ninety minutes on the unbuilt, and on what those drawings were really for. Live, with questions at the end.
