Sustainability: utopias, practices, women
This essay wants to contextualise a selection of current projects by designers and architects that are related to forms of sustainability in a broader perspective of historical utopian and ecotopian initiatives. The essay first considers general characteristics of historical uto- and ecotopias expressed in novels and connects some of these characteristics to lived utopian experiments in the past. Next, and after some more terms and definitions, it will address a number of examples of current design and architectural practices that involve women. Finally, there will be some thoughts on sustainability and geographies. The essay has the following four sections besides an introduction and conclusion: I Utopias and ecotopias: literary and realised II More terms and definitions: ecology, eco, green, ecomodernism III Design, architecture, technology: examples of initiatives by women IV Geographies: poverty and wealth, rural and urban, local and global
