UTOPIA BLU

UTOPIA

The term "Utopia" originates from Sir Thomas More's 1516 book "Utopia", in which he describes an imaginary island society with seemingly perfect social, legal, and political systems. The word itself is derived from the Greek words "ou" (meaning "not") and "topos" (meaning "place"), which together translate to "no place" or "nowhere." This suggests that a utopia is an idealized place that may not actually exist.

This relates directly to the ephemeral situation of our human existence and the associated search for truths and the core of the inner self.

The spatial quality of this terms also refers to our origin profession as architects.

BLU

The color blue holds deep symbolic meaning, often associated with themes of longing, imagination, freedom and the infinite.

The Romantic Movement which emerged in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, emphasized emotion, individualism, and a connection to nature and the sublime. Blue became a significant color in this context due to its evocative and emotional qualities.

The Infinite and the Sublime

Blue is associated with the vastness of the sky and the sea, evoking a sense of the infinite and the sublime—key concepts in Romanticism.

It represented the boundless and the mysterious, inspiring awe and contemplation of the natural world and the universe.
