The Architecture of Absence – a Faultlines special investigation (coming soon on PBSI)

What happens to the buildings we abandon? New evidence suggests they're changing in ways science cannot explain.


Researchers have documented inexplicable structural transformations in abandoned buildings worldwide. GPS anomalies. Architectural impossibilities. Spaces that violate the laws of geometry itself. Now, PBSI and Faultlines investigates what happens when the built environment is left to its own devices—and what we discover will challenge everything we thought we knew about the structures around us.

Almost a fifth of our built environment has been abandoned. We assume these structures remain unchanged—static monuments to forgotten purposes. But for the past decade, researchers worldwide have been quietly documenting something disturbing: structural anomalies in deserted buildings that cannot be explained by conventional architectural science.
Researchers have documented thousands of cases of structural "drift"—GPS anomalies, architectural impossibilities, and spatial transformations that defy the laws of Euclidean geometry. Through exclusive access to the "Threshold Archive," PBSI's investigation explores what scientists call "Spatial Erosion": the phenomenon of abandoned buildings undergoing inexplicable changes when left unwatched. The implications are staggering. If the world we built is capable of independent transformation, what does that mean for our understanding of reality itself?

The Architecture of Absence investigates the growing phenomenon of liminal spaces that are changing when nobody's watching.


This video was more challenging than I originally expected. My goal was to create something that was believable and could be mistaken for real. To do this I needed to write an outline for the actual documentary and then summarize it. Everything in this video I made up, and used AI to help with all the visuals.

Let me know what you think. Please Like if you enjoyed my video. See my channel for more original videos.
