india: unbuilt architecture
An ongoing digital repository of unbuilt ideas. We start with celebrating the buildings that weren’t – and ideas that continue to be. Indian architects report that a significant percentage of their work remains unbuilt – whether as concepts that didn’t make the cut at competitions, as proposals which got tied up in red tape, or as projects that were abandoned by stakeholders. While we measure the worth of a building by the visual, tactile and spatial experience it offers, the fact remains that unrealized ideas are just as crucial as built structures – for discourse, design and development. Unbuilt seeks to celebrate these ideas.
