In the 500 years since the publication of Thomas More's Utopia, the project of imagining an ideal society has emerged as simultaneously regenerative and devastating on multiple fronts: for the concept of the polity, for the composition of social fabrics, and for the formation of buildings, cities, and territories. By examining a series of sites - from the building envelope to the plantation, from infrastructural projects to global ecologies - this year's Cambridge Talks aims to provide a spectrum of cases that collectively approach utopia's modern guise.
