jan 1, 1959 - NEW BABYLON /1959-1974/ An anti-capitalist city, perceived and designed as a future potentiality by visual artist C. Nieuwenhuys. The city was to be a series of linked transformable structures, some of which were themselves the size of a small city. In the New Babylon, the bourgeois shackles of work, family life, and civic respon- sibility would be discarded. The post- revolutionary individual would wander from one leisure environment to another in search of new sensations.
