Modernisim in Utopian Architecture

Utopian imagined societies are not thought to be exist. And the concept of the utopia has been very influential for arts and architecture. At the first of 20th century the world was facing with effects of the World War I. Modernist movement was beginning and architects believed that their buildings and desings might be able to help the world's problems.With using of new materials such as glass, iron and stell made available by the Industiral revolution, modernist architects started to imagine completely new cities which supported utopian ideals. Altough Utopion visions had different focuses, all were united under radically avant garde and cuting edge architecture. And though architects' ideals varied, they had one common point: they were never to be built. Only able to exist in theory as the basis point of utopia.The utopian architecture visions are carefully planned. Each of them had a purpose to reach larger goal. The utopias were sort of megalomaniacal belief which one architect's ideas might have a change whole society, the plans are admirable in architects experimental efforts. Glass Construction-Hans Scharoun, La Città Nuova-Antonio Sant'Elia, Monument to the Third International-Vladimir Tatlin(1) ,"Plan Voisin," Le Corbusier(2) and "Broadacre City," Frank Lloyd Wright(3) could be exaples of the topic.
