Postopia: Why a movement?
Postopia has become a movement because its main objective is to driven architecture students to a more conscious and ethical vision for the safe of a better, sustainable society. It is not just a brand, a company. Its values are more importand than ordinary corporations. There are similar movements under the umbrella of architecture. Among those, are the Archigram‘ the group was invented by a young group of architects with vision a technocratic, experimental future. Their projects were too futuristic to stay alive, indeed some of their constructions had collapsed and were never rebuild.
Moreover, Superstudio was another architectural avant garde group whose vision was to challenge the modernist orthodoxies that had dominated architectural thinking for decates. They also believed that architecture could become an influence for a the world’s progress.
Postopia’s proposal is that architecture s a social art and should be applied to help those without shelter. As a movement Postopia tries to answer the question “what role can architecture play as a socially responsive endevour in the future”?
