Thomas More in 1516, as a humanist scholar, defines what for architects has always been “the project of projects”, that coins the term "Utopia".
The utopian act finds its anthropological foundations in the "Republic" of Platone, passing through the city of Babel, and arriving in our days, but during the Renaissance that the concept becomes design of the utopian archetype.
The boards of Urbino, Berlin and Baltimora or the various treaties of Filarete or Francesco di Giorgio are the representations of "ou-topia," or of a non-place, << the representation’ s Architecture, which construction in perspective it provides the motive and the paradigm >> (H. Damish, the boards of the ideal city).
