"Unfinished buildings have the beauty of this which could have been.
Of this which is not yet there.
Of this which might be one day."
(Inspired by "Le temps en ruines" by Marc Augé)

Architecture of the unfinished: A journey through Italy's modern-day ruins. A foray into the symbols of an age uncertain about its future and the people who re-invented these paradoxical products of political corruption. Here, the unfinished becomes a source of creativity...

Italy, home of ruins: A foray into the unfinished, Italy's most prominent architectural style between the end of WW2 and the present day. Buildings in a limbo between perfection and nothingness, given up on halfway through their construction, fallen into ruin before they were ever used, are an integral part of the Italian architectural landscape: Stadiums without audiences, hospitals without patients, theatres that after 50 years have not yet seen their premiere.

"Bitmemiş binalar olabilecek olanın güzelliğini taşır.
Henüz orada olmayanın.
Bir gün orada olabilecek olanın."
(Marc Augé'nin "Le temps en ruines"inden esinlenilmiştir)

Italya, yıkıntılar ülkesi: Bitmemiş olana hücum, İkinci Dünya Savaşı'nın sonu ile bugün arası İtalya'nın en ünlü mimari üslubu. Mükemmellikle hiçlik arasında gidip gelen, inşaat sırasında yarıda bırakılmış, daha kullanılmadan harabeye dönüşmüş binalar, İtalyan mimarisinin önemli bir bölümünü oluşturur. İzleyicisi olmayan stadyumlar, hastasız hastaneler, 50 yıl geçmesine rağmen açılışını yapamamış tiyatrolar.
