Forgotten Architecture: Facebook Group Revives Overlooked Architectural Works
Forgotten Architecture is a Facebook group and Instagram page founded on May 28, 2019, by Bianca Felicori, an architecture student at Politecnico di Milano. The project emerged from Felicori's personal fascination with forgotten architects and works, such as Marcello D'Olivo and Aldo Loris Rossi. The group encourages sharing of overlooked architecture from the early 20th century to today, focusing on European context with exceptions for Italian architects abroad. It features themed sub-groups like #forgottenhouses, #forgottendeserthouses, and regional rubrics for Campania, Calabria, and Puglia. The project has grown to over 3,000 members, including students, professors, and journalists. Future plans include events, trips, an exhibition, and a publication.
