This paper examines the link between architecture and utopia
through the lens of radical visions from the 1960s and 1970s.
These speculative projects – by groups such as Superstudio,
Archizoom, and Gruppo Strum – anticipated today’s dematerialization of architecture, digital hyperconnectivity, and the blurring of public and private space. Focusing on the 1972 MoMA
exhibition Italy: The New Domestic Landscape, the paper highlights how these proposals critically addressed the impact of
technology on domestic life and social relations. Far from being
outdated, these radical utopias remain tools to rethink contemporary spatial and design paradigms.
