Manfredo Tafuri, "Architecture and Utopia" (1976)

"First among the intellectual illusions to be done away with is that which, by means of the image alone, tries to anticipate the conditions of an architecture ‘for a liberated society.’ Who proposes such slogan avoids asking himself if, its obvious utopianism aside, this object is perusable without a revolution of architectural language, method, and structure which goes far beyond simple subjective will or the simple adapting of syntax.” p.179
