Unbuilt : Radical Visions of a Future That Never Arrived

Unbuilt brings together the plans, designs and proposals that developed during the 20th century, an unprecedented period of architectural optimism. Although many of these projects remained in draft form, many test structures or buildings were developed, with designs coming from a very futuristic world.

Here we find the work of great names in architecture such as Buckminster Fuller, Geoffrey Bawa, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright and Archigram, as well as contemporary architects such as Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, Will Alsop and Rem Koolhaas. Embellished with photographs, drawings, maps, collages and models from all over the world, it is a real architectural world tour that is undertaken with this book.

This 208-page book is written by Christopher Beanland, a journalist and author specializing in architecture and travel writing.
