A pop utopia on Casabella #365, 1972.
“Production problems no longer exist. A few movements alone are
sufficient, and the machines make everything by themselves in eternally
repeating cycles. (…)
The explosive decentralization of consumer goods distribution has
pulverized the cities, has eliminated them from the face of the earth.
(…)
There are no longer men going to work, because men are not needed in the factories (…)”
Cover
by Ettore Sottsass Jr: “Rafts for listening to chamber music. They set
off from the sources of the Tocantins River, in the mist of the jungle,
and reach the sea. During the pause on the shore one can change rafts,
or stay on the ground, collecting fruit, or mushrooms growing there, if
so desiring. (Or look at the bird of paradise, the pale-blue polychrome
phenomenon, cloud of feathers or flying cushion)”
