CAA 102nd Annual Conference / Chicago / February 12-15, 2014
Session: Industry, Utopia, and Modern World Architecture
Session chairs: Lawrence Chua, Hamilton College, and Nathaniel Robert
Walker, Brown University.
Utopian strivings lie at the core of global modernity. They helped to
propel industrial modernization in its capitalist and socialist
strains, and fueled resistance against both. Visions of ideal high-
tech worlds informed the aesthetic and functional development of
modern architecture as well as its popular reception, from the Crystal
Palace to Kemalist Ankara, from the Plan Voisin to Putrajaya.
Throughout the past two centuries, utopia was a dream—sometimes a
nightmare—that transformed the natural and synthetic worlds, investing
built environments with collective desire. This session invites papers
that seek to identify the planned and/or built locations of modern
utopias while critically exploring the socio-political character of
architecture. How do high-tech utopian proposals reveal theories of
cultural evolution? Where do pre-modern cosmologies fit into visions
of modernity? We will strive for an understanding of utopia in a
global context while developing a historical understanding of the
relationships between concepts, representations, and lived spaces—
ideology and practice, rhetoric and materials.
