Earthships are realizations of the utopia of
sustainable living and autonomous housing.
[2] Also, the concept
domed city functions as a potential utopia.

linear city for socialism.

Tomáš Baťa developed the concept of a utopian industrial town in the 1920s and 1930s.
[10] It was similar to

Zlín .
Nowa Huta and
Magnitogorsk are examples of entirely

ideal cities .

Revolutionary architecture
Revolutionary architecture refers to the type of architecture that seeks to challenge or overthrow the existing social, political, and economic order through the built environment.
[15] It often aims to create spaces that promote social justice, equity, and freedom. Revolutionary architecture is equated with utopian architecture due to insuperable constraints of capitalism.
[15]
[16] Utopianism played a significant role in the emergence of revolutionary architecture.

Exhibitions
In July 2018
MoMA opened a 6-month exhibition entitled "Toward a Concrete Utopia" that provided visitors with a large collection of images, architectural models, and drawings from
