With a tongue in cheek approach, this book presents a selection of the most spectacular architectural flops from the 20th century to the present. Each project is described briefly and its circumstances analysed and extensively documented via photos. The reader is taken to monumental ghost towns, grotesque remnants of amusement parks, and a nuclear power plant. The author is not aiming to uncover faults and condemn failed projects but rather to contemplate on how difficult and nearly impossible it is to predict the future for any type of endeavour.
