Abstract
This article has been devoted to the analysis of the description of architecture in the works of utopian philosophers, and the identification of the main means by which they tried to ensure the environmental friendliness of their society and connection with nature. Utopian ideas and concepts arise as a result of dissatisfaction with the standard of living and contribute to the active development of society. The models of states described in utopian works serve as a source of ideas for possible scenarios for improving current systems. Ecotopies are a specific type of utopias which describe states with a clear and exclusively ecologically-oriented social order. This article presents an analysis of architectural and engineering means of communication with nature in the works by Plato, T. More, T. Campanella, Cyrano de Bergerac, D. Vairasse and V. Odoyevsky. The work of E. Callenbach, as the first example of ecotopia, is analyzed in detail, and the peculiarities of the architecture and urban structure of the cities of Ecotopia are highlighted.
