Utopia thus primarily reflects the conditions of the time in which it was created.

Thus, the situation in which the utopia arises, the problems of that moment, but also the way in which the ideal future is 'negotiated', or 'The Moment of Utopia', plays a major role in shaping that ideal future. When conceiving the as yet unimaginable societies of the future, the dominant solution to today's conceivable problems serves by definition as an important check on the utopian content of these ideal plans. The assumption behind the year's theme is that the utopias that are being defined during the pandemic, in the ideal future societies that are being imagined within restrictions, it is precisely this freedom of movement and unlimited interpersonal interaction that plays a major role. For the opportunity to move freely and to immerse oneself in events with many people and physical contact as if there were no danger of infection. In the media and in everyone's immediate surroundings, you could hear the signs of people who were tired of the restrictions and longed for freedom without limitations. This year's theme was partly inspired by the past 2 years in which the covid-19 pandemic had imposed many restrictions on movement and social interaction on all of us. The theme does not represent a programme that dominates all the studios but is a starting point for research in a parallel programme of lectures, travels and workshops. Every year at INSIDE we choose a year theme as an impulse to the curriculum to explore a specific phenomenon in the built environment. At 'Floating', a project by raumlaborberlin, the students investigated autonomously, with the year's theme 'The Moment of Utopia' in the back of their minds, how they as a community in the here and now, at that specific place in Berlin, could help the future on its way. We began this academic year at the Floating University in Berlin as the first in a series of research projects by design schools across Europe. Because of the distribution possibilities and the options to include material generously also including moving images, we have continued the online presentation this year.

Forced by the lack of distribution possibilities of our printed magazine during the pandemic, we decided to publish online last year. This thirteenth issue is also the second to appear entirely online.

We proudly present the thirteenth magazine of INSIDE, the master programme for interior architecture of the Royal Academy of Art The Hague.
