Architecture and
the
  Unspeakable
A story about three buildings, each with a pathological
problem connecting it to a larger cultural dialog.









Through the mechanisms of vandalism, idiosyncrasy, and dilapidation, the buildings raise the possibility that architecture might transcend its practical obligations to become our most potent form of cultural expression.
