Eine Plattform für die Wissenschaft: Bauingenieurwesen, Architektur und Urbanistik
Through the presentation of a design research project inspired by the narrative “Edilia, or ‘Make of it what you will’” in Spaces of Hope by the cultural geographer David Harvey, this article shows a contemporary resurgence of interest in visionary utopian design. Springing from Harvey's Neo-Marxist position, the design studio and ecotopia design presented explore an alternative relationship between nature and urbanization. That association is based not on exploitation of energy resources, but on the potential to create a sustainable ecology and community at the Jökulsárlón, a lagoon located at the base of the melting glacier, Vatnajökull in southeastern Iceland.
