Dystopian aesthetics—a refusal from ‘nowhere’
AbstractThe focus of this paper is New Right ideology as applied in architecture; in particular, Alice Coleman's scientific critique of planned housing. The authors highlight her characteristically regressive view of social life, her mean notion of design—above all, her modish dismissal of utopian desire in architecture. Drawing on the theoretical work of William Morris, it is argued that re-evaluations of Modernism are necessary: they require, however, a willingness to enter into utopia's proper space—the education of desire.
