Architecture and Failure

Where is the line between a creator and his work? At what point does a failure become more important than life itself, or so overwhelming that one's whole life can be considered a failure?

Charlotte van den Broek found in her hometown Turnhout a trace that led her through thirteen architectural projects with a common denominator: all of them resulted in personal and professional tragedy for their architects. Over the course of three years, the author visited all these "epicenters of failure" - both historic and recent works, built both in Europe and the United States - to rehabilitate the ruined architects, to restore their lost faces, to do something about the sterility of their despair and the final nature of their last act, suicide.
