Zvi Hecker is just one of the many architects exploring the limits of utopian architecture around the world. Discover the work of Hecker and more in the book THE TALE OF TOMORROW.
Driven by idealistic visions, utopian architecture aimed to overcome social divisions and political strife, to put us in touch with nature, and to enable us to live humane, healthy lives. For half a century, it was both hope and inspiration.
THE TALE OF TOMORROW surveys this diverse twentieth century phenomenon, featuring renowned works like The House of the Century or the TWA terminal, as well as lesser-known masterpieces, and profiling major thinkers such as Oscar Niemeyer, Le Corbusier, and Eero Saarinen.
