Rational utopia
Rational utopia rested on the idea that mechanization could improve daily life and transform the products of the designed world. Link much of Modernism, it was formulated in opposition to the perceived evils of the present – above all, the repressive political structures and glaring social inequalities. Its solutions were highly rational and practical. A new environment – clean, healthy, light and full of fresh air – would transform daily life. There was no need for revolution, only for social change.
