    In architecture, as buildings are objects created by man, they are usually erected to be inhabited by man. It is in their full use and maintenance that architecture stands at its greatest splendor. Or at least, that is the most accepted convention. But, although architecture is meant to be lived, there are plenty of reasons that can break this relation: obsolescence, budget, comfort, disaster, fear... all of them making the building not apt for its purpose anymore, and hence leading to one of the most interesting states in architecture: dereliction. This research will go through a variety of case studies where the disappearance in architecture is manifested in the presence of time and the absence of humans.
