The two common features of any utopia (as Jameson its Archaelogies of The Future, unconscious father inspired this blog) are: a general and systematic closure law. The closure law is one parameter that allows its existence to create a differentiation in the current system (for Thomas More and his Utopia generate the closure law, for which a fictional island Moro looking where to start from scratch).
The search for resources in environments as hostile as the Arctic creates a good starting point for the development of climate utopias. In this case, Frei Otto (structural design) joins Kenzo Tange (urban planning) to design a continuous envelope around 3Km2 transparent surface (which had been built in a smaller size in the U.S. pavilion of Osaka70) under which manages a model of low-density city like a small city garden pool.
This project is the culmination of the testing of Frei Otto on air-conditioned environments from large textile coverings.
