Monuments without destiny, utopian cities, pastiches and follies, spectacular collapses, enormous structures. The history of architecture, usually observed from the perspective of its greatest achievements, is revisited here. Erroneous calculations, unsuitable techniques, construction site accidents, and psychological blunders form the framework of this journey through centuries and civilizations, offering an offbeat panorama of one of humankind's greatest passions: building.
