Discussion | When is Utopia?


For roughly a decade, beginning in 1967, the Utopie group offered a militant alternative to professional urban planning and sociology journals, formulating a critique of the technocratic and administrative rule over a disabled and alienated urban society, while also projecting an ephemeral urban poetics. Utopie: Texts and Projects 1967-1978 anthologizes and translates material from group's magazines, pamphlets, posters, exhibitions, and articles. The work provides a window onto the group's intellectual concerns, but also onto the tumultuous period in which a number of architects, urbanists, and sociologists worked in close collaboration.
