Utopian Architectures and the dictatorship of the imaginary more

The paper describes a multi-author research path emerged in-between the general discussion taking place on the AHA mailing-list, and later formally detailed. The focal node of the dialogue is an "architectural" vision of the strategies of conflict and critique. Analisys is multidirectional and multidisciplinary. Starting from the idea of the clash among languages and codes that is embodied in education practices and in the strategies for production and dissemination of imaginaries, it continues by describing the cultural and education strategies that contribute in defining the "design" (and the role of the "designer") as a tool for authority, operating between linited visions, utopias and desire. The discussion, sythesized and formalized in the text, ends by suggesting possible scenarios for the education practices that better seem to embody the more effective reaction and critique models, also describing nomadic and recombinant scenarios narrated under the form of an evolution of the "conference". The work is "open/emergent", and it will be implemented as a multiple-voice digital platform right after the conference, using an innovative visualization system creating a parallel between the visions of architectural design and information architectural design. The platform will be used during the presentation, and it will be released with a GPL2 license.
