Abstract
In recent years, new formats of socially engaged architectural practices have become increasingly present in the urban space. Projects of temporary use, mostly erected by transdisciplinary working collectives, have become part of a broader trend, marking a social turn in architecture. In this paper, these practices are understood as a concrete aesthetic and political phenomenon that brings about alternative forms of social coexistence: micro-utopias arise against the backdrop of urban NEO-liberalisation processes. The history of utopia, and particularly the utopian tradition in architecture, facilitate to put this argument forward.
