| Summary: | The APA factor is the triangular foundation which the discursive edifice of Historiography in Modern Architecture rests upon. The production of architecture, its textual and photographic documentation, and the structured retrievability of visual records over time are the mutually interdependent links required for the lasting inclusion of particular buildings and their architects in institutional discourse. This paper illustrates the case study of the Italian architect Gian Luigi Giordani, designer of the Farmitalia Pharmaceutical Factory in Milan, and the Italian architectural photographer Giorgio Casali where the links holding together the APA factor are broken, resulting in their contemporary oblivion.
