The paper is conceptulised in the form of a theoretical platform and an architectural response to that platform. It deals with the topic of utopia and the connection between utopia and architecture. The importance of utopia and dystopia is in the critique of a society, with the important difference being that dystopia magnifies the negative characteristics of a society and time, while utopia offers an alternative as a possible solution to be pursued, or at least envisioned, as a certain ideal. I have presented the critique of modern society under the concept of Simulation, relying on the work of the French thinker Jean Baudrillard. In response to Simulation, I emphasize the process of Asimulation, which aims to change society through the revolution of consciousness.
