Incompiuto: Italian Unfinished Public Works as Artistic Style

Alterazioni Video and Fosbury Architecture released a book called 'Incompiuto. La nascita di uno stile' through Humboldt Books in 2018. It examines 696 unfinished public projects across Italy, like a pool overrun with weeds and a station missing its tracks. The authors argue these sites represent a distinctive architectural style that developed after World War II. The book includes photos, a manifesto, maps, and essays by well-known contributors such as Marc Augé and Robert Storr. Storr compares these incomplete works to surrealist art, emphasizing their randomness. The book wraps up with a map that traces only these unfinished locations, and it connects back to Antonio Ricci's 1992 TV show, highlighting Giarre's eight incomplete buildings and their implications for future generations.
