Bright New World. De kracht van verbeelding

Overview

What does a better world look like? And what if everything you need for it begins with your imagination?

In Bright New World. De kracht van verbeelding you step into a dream world full of fantastical architecture, futuristic visions and radical ideas about the future. Artists and architects from the 1920s and 1930s meet contemporary makers who, a century later, surprisingly often ask themselves the same questions.

A utopia is an imaginary world. Utopia can mean both 'non-existent place' and 'good place'. The English lawyer and writer Thomas More introduced the word for his book Utopia in 1516. In it he describes the imaginary island of Utopia, where an ideal society would exist: prosperous, equal and happy.
