Forgotten Architecture: An Archive of Overshadowed Projects is a book that originates from a Facebook group founded in May 2019. The book's goal is to research, unearth and recover obscure modern architecture worldwide – projects by little-known architects and works left in the shadows of the masters. It delves into the work of 'minor figures' and attempts to unite alternative takes on the History of Architecture as a complement to university courses.

The book maintains its distinctive features of a collective, dynamic, and horizontal experience born on a social network. The publication uses the architectural categories most frequently featured in the group as guiding themes, providing for each project a collection of photographic materials, documents, and drawings from prominent professional firms, institutions and private archives such as Fornasetti, Gaetano Pesce, Nanda Vigo and Vitra.

It examines ephemeral architecture such as gas stations, night clubs, playgrounds, houses, vacation resorts, cemeteries, churches and architecture in music videos.

There are several forgotten projects by well renowned architects, such as the house designed for Arnaldo Pomodoro by Ettore Sottsass Jr. and the avant-garde Binishells by Dante Bini, published exclusively in the book, alongside drive-in churches, flying houses, psychedelic inflatable architectures, etc.

At the end of the book, a series of critical essays reflect on its characteristics as a collective and pedagogical experience, considering the repercussions of this experience on the discipline of architecture through different points of view.
