[.en] The cities in which we live today are unfortunately not the cities that we need for a humane and sustainable tomorrow. Because societies and politicians are desperately looking for solutions and ideas for the urban areas of the future, explorations of utopias and radical approaches to city planning have become the predominant themes in contemporary architecture. Utopia Forever, conceived by Lukas Feireiss, is a collection of current projects and concepts from architecture, city planning, urbanism, and art that point beyond the restrictions of the factual to unleash the potential of creative visions. This inspiring work explores how current challenges for architecture, mobility, and energy as well as the logistics of food consumption and waste removal can be met. Text features by both architects and theorists give added insight. Whether created by established architects and artists or new talents, the examples in Utopia Forever are important catalysts for fundamental change and are radically shaping our notions of life in the future.
