Archive of Lost Mountains

The Archive of Lost Mountains is a collection of drawings and models that document the impacts of mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia. Specifically, it recreates the peaks destroyed by mining, and assembles data concerning permit holders, raw material extraction, labor hours worked, and other details. By using architectural conventions to represent these landscapes, the archive seeks to establish deeper connections between the practice of architecture and the sites of its material extraction.
