disappearing
architecture
An architect by training, Mollino designed a vast number of projects but only 10 or so were ever built. Only his residence in Turin, in which he never lived for very long, survives. All his other buildings have been redone or razed.
he was an artist with a capital a, with a limitless ability to express himself. —fulvio ferrari, author of several books about mollino
