The texts presented in Proportion Harmonies and Identities (PHI) -
MODERNITY, FRONTIERS AND REVOLUTIONS were compiled with the intent
to establish a multidisciplinary platform for the presentation,
interaction and dissemination of research. It also aims to foster
awareness of and discussion on the topics of Harmony and Proportion
with a focus on different visions relevant to Architecture, Arts
and Humanities, Design, Engineering, Social and Natural Sciences,
and their importance and benefits for the sense of both individual
and community identity. The idea of modernity has been a
significant driver of development since the Western Early Modern
Age. Its theoretical and practical foundations have become the
working tools of scientists, philosophers, and artists, who seek
strategies and policies to accelerate the development process in
different contexts.

The idea of Utopia springs from a natural desire of transformation,
of evolution pertaining to humankind and, therefore, one can find
expressions of "utopian" desire in every civilization. Having to do
explicitly with human condition, Utopia accompanies closely
cultural evolution, almost as a symbiotic organism. Maintaining its
roots deeply attached to ancient myths, utopian expression
followed, and sometimes preceded cultural transformation. Through
the next almost five hundred pages (virtually one for each year
since Utopia was published) researchers in the fields of
Architecture and Urbanism, Arts and Humanities present the results
of their studies within the different areas of expertise under the
umbrella of Utopia. Past, present, and future come together in one
book. They do not offer their readers any golden key. Many
questions will remain unanswered, as they should. The texts
presented in Proportion Harmonies and Identities - UTOPIA(S) WORLDS
AND FRONTIERS OF THE IMAGINARY were compiled with the intent to
establish a platform for the presentation, interaction and
dissemination of researches. It aims also to foster the awareness
and discussion on the topics of Harmony and Proportion with a focus
on different utopian visions and readings relevant to the arts,
sciences and humanities and their importance and benefits for the
community at large.
