Book Description
How will we live in the future? What kinds of architecture can we anticipate? What will the workplace look like? Our homes? Every age has – and needs – its utopias. The grand social drafts of the past century have aroused suspicions toward the concept of utopia as a naïve and perilous hubris. And yet the radical concepts of le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright displayed a force and rationality that can hardly be seen as a mistake. Latent Utopias features experimental architectural projects characterized by radical abstraction and strangeness. But what is the hidden meaning of these experiments? How does this "neo-avant-garde" relate itself to the historical avant-garde, and what is its stance on the idea of progress? Contrary to first appearances, is there still utopian potential? Latent Utopias suggests that there is still much we can learn from gazing into a perfect future.
