The founding principles of civilizations are done through urban cultures nourished by symbols, utopias to engrave identity references and generate memory of places. Thus the fundamental values of our environment such as architecture, the nature city are a vector of social relationships and unification.
Since ancient times, utopian architecture has been dreamed of as an assignable place (ATOPOS) expressing an exit from history. From Ezekiel with Babylon, from Homer and the Champs Elysees, from the light city of Baghdad under Abassides, or from the Utopia island of Thomas More, visions of cities without time could be illustrated, compiling a moral vision of the world. Thus, through a dialogue between the architecture of man and nature, the artworks will help to re-question the position of man within the city as a global identity, abstract and even elusive. This position is equivalent to the 3 periods/attitudes that Zygmunt Bauman defines:
- • Pre-modern: the utopia of the game warden, the defendant of the natural balance.
- • Modern: gardener wanting to organize his space, submitting nature to an order he decides
- • Contemporary: the utopia of the hunter who kills until his carrier is full. The flight forward that does not fear deregulation.
