description	This paper seeks to establish connections between the four phases of the Industrial Revolution and architectural utopias in architecture and urban design. We start with an overview of the four phases of industrialization, trying to establish connections to the respective architectural and urban trends at each phase. We argue that in the same way the Second Industrial Revolution and its new mass production system influenced some Modern utopias at the beginning of the 20th century, the Third and Fourth Industrial Revolution methods have boosted new contemporary utopias. In order to illustrate this thesis, we looked at examples of different scales: consumer products, building components, housing units and urban design. We concluded that the main difference between modern and contemporary utopias is a shift from top-down to bottom-up processes across the different scales. New parametric CAD software and personal production machines, such as CNC-routers, laser cutters and 3D-printers, and the concept of mass-customization, are making it possible for users to be more participant in the production of their own products, homes, and even the urban spaces. The paper ends with an inquiry about which will be the next utopias, based on the technologies expected to reach tipping points in the next decades.

Este trabalho procura estabelecer conexões entre as quatro fases da Revolução Industrial e utopias propostas nas áreas de arquitetura e desenho urbano. O artigo começa com uma revisão geral das quatro fases da industrialização, tentando estabelecer conexões com as respectivas tendências arquitetônicas e urbanas em cada etapa. Da mesma maneira que a Segunda Revolução Industrial e seu novo sistema de produção em massa influenciaram as utopias modernas no início do século XX, os métodos da Terceira e Quarta Revoluções Industriais têm impulsionado novas utopias contemporâneas. A fim de ilustrar essa tese, são apresentados exemplos em diferentes escalas: produtos de consumo, componentes construtivos, unidades habitacionais e desenho urbano. Foi possível concluir que a principal diferença entre as utopias modernas e contemporâneas é uma mudança da maneira de pensar "top-down" para processos "bottom-up" nas diferentes escalas. Novos sistemas de CAD paramétrico e novas máquinas de produção pessoal, tais como as fresadoras CNC, cortadoras a laser e impressoras 3D, e o conceito de personalização em massa, estão permitindo que os usuários se tornem mais participantes na produção de seus bens de consumo, residências, e até mesmo os espaços urbanos. O trabalho termina perguntando aos arquitetos e urbanistas quais serão as próximas utopias, com base nas novas tecnologias esperadas para as próximas décadas.
