Abstract

The present paper proposes a reading through the techno-city visions as an attempt to jump into the timeline. The paper examines the experimental architectural works dreaming of the cities of the future in the context of being visionary. The paper interprets the techno-city design example sets within two headings: “Future city dreams” and “Future city dystopias”. The positive atmosphere of technological developments, covering the years the 1960s-1980s, creates future city dreams. Future city dystopias are visible in science fiction and architectural representations, especially after the 1990s, supported by computer technologies and increasing uncertainty. The techno-city visions discussed in the series, it is aimed to make visible the potential and expansions of the act of imagining and designing the future. Finally, it is aimed to put forward a discussion on the question of what the present "visions of city of the future" are. This text aims to understand the channels through which visionary techno-city projects are fed, their meanings, and the expansions they create.
