ASMR - Ideal Cities, from Babel to Brasilia (part 1)

Listen on Spotify and other music streaming platforms: https://asmrdb.fanlink.to/ideal-citie... Soft spoken male asmr sleep story about utopia and the dream of ideal cities. In this ASMR video, we explore the old dream of creating the perfect human community and how it translated into architecture and urbanism. Part 1 deals with an overview of city-building since the Antiquity and various experiments from the New and the Old World (especially communities inspired by Fournier, such as Utopia, Ohio; the North American Phalanx in New Jersey; La Réunion in Texas; the Familistère de Guise, Northern France). I also tell you about Robert Owen, the Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans, the creation of Bagdad, and many more things. Part 2 (available soon) will deal with the 20th and 21st centuries, from the Bauhaus, Le Corbusier or Oscar Niemeyer to the dream of arcologies and the on-going building of planned cities all around the world.
