Liminopia's origin.

One might think that given the freedom to imagine an urban environment, free from the normal constraints that living in a collective environment or society imposes, it would allow our minds to imagine the best urban situations and architectural solutions. Freed from constraints of negotiation and planning processes we might imagine a world in an idealised appearance, all the best things we hope for in the style and structure of an urban world we would build around us, a city to serve us in all the most positive ways. However it would seem that the structure of our real cities and towns with all their movements through industrialisation, modernism and globalisation has in many ways internalised in our thoughts so deeply that our sense of a pure and untouched Utopia cannot even be imagined purely without the oppressive and unloved manifestations of the urban environment informing our view. We intend or expect to create a Utopia but as materials are collected and manifest in our view of this imagined cityscape we manufacture not only places of leisure, enjoyment and architectural purity but sites of industrial might and economic power almost alienating in their size and power, industrial wastelands that appear in the final throes of usefulness and wasted and scorched forests encroached on by our city and left to dry and decay, in any ones eyes a Dystopia.

And that is where we are, between states, neither a Utopia or Dystopia but a landscape that is both at the same time or something between. An environment between these states, from our imaginings of an urban world both postive and negative, a Liminopia..... The Liminopia.
