Abstract
The research focuses on a case study in the industrial city of Torino, Italia ’61, which is a project that ambodies the greatest ambitions of Italian modernism during its economic boom to give life to a progress and modernity utopia that narrates the spirit of its time, but that over the years becomes the antithesis of the utopian discourse of its origin. The thesis proposes the categories of Utopia, Dystopia and Heterotopia as speculative tools for spatial research and design. Reading the project through the lens of Utopia makes it possible to distinguish the highest values and aspirations of society and the context in which it inserts.
In the case of Italia '61, these values are a late inheritance of the strict functionalist order proclaimed by the CIAM before its dissolution, which translates in terms of space following the logic of Fiat and the Fordist industrial city under its domain
