ARCHITECTURE AND UTOPIA  
    Utopia is  ideal society that created and not real an it means ‘no where’. Actualization of utopias is imposible. Utopia is result of dissatisfaction. There are two kind of utopia such as eutopia and dystopia. Eutopia is positive utopias. There is no law and lawyer. There is no inequality between poor and rich people. However dystopia is not positive. It expresses oppressive society.

    Also there is utopia in architecture since ancient times. The utopian projects generally include changing and modifying cities, ideal order and life. These ‘ideal city’ ideas are not just an idea. They affected future of architecture.For example, in 20th century Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright and Ebenezerr Howard had some ide about ideal city and utopia. They tried to reat ideal city against problems of industrial cities. Urbans became complicated and crowded with industrialization. As a result of this, many social and economical problems occured.  Le corbusier wanted to combine industry and daily life. He planed a big city with tall buildings and parks. On the other hand, Frank Lloyd didn’t want industrial city. He wanted to combine urban and rural. Howard wanted to create big gardens. He tried to balance between nature and city life. Howard succeeded to build his project in England. As a result, these utopias affected each other and  All ideas of utopia was same.

Architecture and utopia are two closely-related concepts. Architecture serves as a bridge between humankind and utopias. Aiming for a better social order, utopias are built upon ideal cities. To elaborate on this statement, we can say that abstract utopic ideas become concrete in the forms of avenues, streets, and buildings when architecture is involved in the process of realization.
    Nowadays, utopias changed with the development of technology. Industry is in the cities. Cities are more crowded. There are skyscraper in everywhere. Therefore,  today’s utopia is rural. People want to escape from the chaos of citiy. However, this will be not possible in the future. Because, nowadays high buildings are built in rural areas and gren areas are destroyed.

Utopia and architecture complement each other, as utopias benefit from the designs of the architects and engineers of the age. These designs are planned in compliance with the ideal future. Considering the problems of the given time period, people try to establish a better societal system. Hence, the imaginary cities of these stated designs and creations are governed by an ideal social order.

These two concepts mentioned throughout this text have a common goal, which is to readjust the current situation in order to achieve better conditions.

ARCHITECTURE AND UTOPIA

Architecture and utopia are two closely-related concepts. Architecture serves as a bridge between humankind and utopias. Aiming for a better social order, utopias are built upon ideal cities. To elaborate on this statement, we can say that abstract utopic ideas become concrete in the forms of avenues, streets, and buildings when architecture is involved in the process of realization.

Utopia and architecture complement each other, as utopias benefit from the designs of the architects and engineers of the age. These designs are planned in compliance with the ideal future. Considering the problems of the given time period, people try to establish a better societal system. Hence, the imaginary cities of these stated designs and creations are governed by an ideal social order.

These two concepts mentioned throughout this text have a common goal, which is to readjust the current situation in order to achieve better conditions. This concept of being “better” differs in each era. In the past, with the influence of the Industrial Revolution, people dreamed of highly-automatized, mechanical “machine cities” full of skyscrapers and metal constructions. Nowadays, there is a sense of nostalgia, a longing for the older times. As a result, the utopias of our time are built upon places where there is an abundance of green spaces and an organic life. Utopias, which always orient themselves in accordance with the future, lay the foundations of our new world. In a sense, they guide us to new and better conditions while questioning our ways of living.
