Description
“Although the association between architecture and utopia (the relationship between imagining a new world and exploring how its new conditions can best be organized) might appear obvious from within the domain of utopian studies, architects have long attempted to dissociate themselves from Utopia. Concentrating on the difficulties writers from both perspectives have with the topic, this collection interrogates the meta-theoretical problematic for ongoing intellectual work on architecture and Utopia. The essays explore divergent manifestations of the play of Utopia on architectural imagination, situated within specific historical moments, from the early Renaissance to the present day.” (PL)
