VIII Prize for the most beautiful Hotels and
SPAs in the world – Competition
announcement 2018
“PROTOPIA MAIO”
“Utopia has failed, we should aim for protopia”
INTRODUCT ION
PIDA aims at becoming the architecture and design prize for the most beautiful Hotels
and SPAs in the world. Thanks to its initiatives, it aims at fostering change in the
Italian architecture and design world by promoting the regeneration of the building
sector as well as the hospitality industry offer.
For the 2018 edition the title chosen is “Protopia Maio”. This slogan was inspired by an
article published on Italian daily newspaper Repubblica, where a thought by Michael
Shermer (editor of Skeptic as well as contributor to Scientific American) is quoted. In
an article on Quarz with the title “Utopia is a dangerous ideal. We should aim for
protopia” he asks himself: "In the light of the failure of utopias during the history of
the last century, what can replace the idea of utopia? One answer can be found in
another neologism: protopia – incremental progress in steps toward improvement,
not perfection". As the futurist Kevin Kelly describes his coinage: "Protopia is a state
that is better today than yesterday, although it might be only a little better. Protopia is
much much harder to visualize (as opposed to utopia). Because a protopia contains as
many new problems as new benefits". "Protopian progress best describes the
monumental moral achievements of the past several centuries: the attenuation of
war, the abolishment of slavery, the end of torture and the death penalty, universal
suffrage, civil rights and liberties, same-sex marriage and animal rights. These are all
examples of protopian progress in the sense that they happened one small step at a
time. A protopic future is realisable." The search for a protopic result is common to
both the PIDA Competition and the PIDA Workshop. This latter will focus on the
reconstruction of the Maio neighbourhood, a hamlet on the island of Ischia that was
