Take a look at our selection of the 7 Utopian architecture pieces from Outer Space:

Palais Bulles by Antti Lovag

This seaside residence pushes the boundaries of organic architecture with no straight edges at all. Built for Pierre Cardin in 1989 it is still one of the most iconic works of Utopian thinking.
