Utopian thought, though commonly characterized as projecting a
future without a past, depends on golden models for re-invention of
what is. Through a detailed and innovative re-assessment of the
work of three architects who sought to represent a utopian content
in their work, and a consideration of the thoughts of a range of
leading writers, Coleman offers the reader a unique perspective of
idealism in architectural design.
With unparalleled depth and focus of vision on the work of Le
Corbusier, Louis I Kahn and Aldo van Eyck, this book persuasively
challenges predominant assumptions in current architectural
discourse, forging a new approach to the invention of welcoming
built environments and transcending the limitations of both the
postmodern and hyper-modern stance and orthodox modernist
architecture.
