Impossible Worlds

Impossible Worlds brings together visions of utopia from around the world, from the lowly caravan to grand city plans, and looks at the ideas and aims of the people who created them. For some, the possibilities offered by a technologically advanced future have led to the design of vast megastructures such as Arata Isozaki's 'Clusters in the Air'. Others have attempted to combine innovation with tradition in 'planned communities' like the picture-perfect Seaside, in Florida. All share a conviction that a better world is not impossible. "Impossible Worlds" features historical essays, case studies and new photography, as well as contributions by artists, philosophers and architects.Coates, Stephen is the author of 'Impossible Worlds' with ISBN 9783764363178 and ISBN 3764363177.
