Abstract

Rather than exiting Utopia, this chapter charts Utopia’s anarchist dimensions, which have long held a preconscious attraction for me, beginning decades ago with description of my architecture school student design work as “PUNK” (by a now established apologist for the architectural neo-avant-gardes). As lingering desires to fit in fall away, that bygoneobservation’s import comes into focus. Although I have implicitly followed this line, my 2020 book, Materials and Meaning in Architecture: Essays on the Bodily Experience of Buildings, more explicitly anticipates the shifting direction of my teaching and research, towards the operativeness of anarchism, in contrast to utopian hermeneutics.
