Invi sible Architecture

joeykey

Hi, was currently thinking of some hidde n/invisi ble architecture, places, moment that we architect might have missed...some very fundamental human activites that involve invisib le architecture...

say for example..you go to cinema and no matter how grand the cinema looks like, whenever the movie starts, light off, and it doesn't matter how the cinema looks anymore!

another situation is..asian cities like Tokyo where you see lots of different looking buildings, but they are mostly dressed with huge signage on the outside skin..and the real architecture became not viewable..

can anyone think of something like that? :)

How about ordinary, vernacular buildings that make up such a large proportion of the landscape?  While not literally invisible, many consider that whole part of the building stock to be unworthy of consideration...  in other words, unnoticed and all-but-invisible in the cultural sense.
