This should be a new gnomic saying: “One person’s utopian is another person’s realist. And vice versa.” ethel-baraona: Yona Friedman | Ville Spatiale in Binckhorst In the late fifties and in the sixties I was regarded by some people as a utopian. But I see myself as a realist. In all of my work I have been trying to demonstrate that everything people experience as utopian can actually be realized. So I see my role as that of someone who passes on ideas to reflect on. To make people think. And when I succeed I’m very happy! Yona Friedman in the documentary Erratic City, 1997/1998
