His works were of pure fantasy and imagination, but were also regarded as avant-garde messages in the depiction of architectural space. Giovanni Battista Piranesi was considered one of the greatest printmakers of the eighteenth century. He is notably one of the greatest printmakers of his time, where it is through this medium in which he demonstrated his mastering of etchings of imagined spaces.Visionary architecture: Unbuilt works of the imagination.

The Acts of Saint Catherine of Alexandria and those of Saint George fall into this category. Eusebius of Caesarea was likely the first Christian author to produce a collection of acts of the martyrs. Besides these, there are romances, either written around a few real facts which have been preserved in popular or literary tradition, or else pure works of the imagination, containing no real facts whatever. Still, as they were written with the intention of edifying and not deceiving the reader, a special class must be reserved for hagiographical forgeries.

In 1954, Galaxy Science Fiction reviewer Groff Conklin placed the novel "among the great works of the imagination written in English in the last decade or more." The Chicago Sunday Tribune's August Derleth described the book as "a savage and shockingly prophetic view of one possible future way of life", calling it "compelling" and praising Bradbury for his "brilliant imagination". Over half a century later, Sam Weller wrote, "upon its publication, Fahrenheit 451 was hailed as a visionary work of social commentary." Today, Fahrenheit 451 is still viewed as an important cautionary tale about conformity and the evils of government censorship.

Although he never built anything, his visionary drawings focused on perspectives, playing with the forms of unusual, organic shapes. Finsterlin's architectural drawings would require the most devious methods to physically build as they go against their form, beginning with careful dissection and separate moulding of each part, only emphasizing and confirming that they are among the purest paper buildings ever developed.Visionary Architecture: Unbuilt works of the imagination; Burden, Ernest E 1934; New York: McGraw- Hill, c2000 Lebbeus Woods, after working with Eero Saarinen in the 1960s, turned to visionary architecture around 1976, producing a body of drawings and models that reimagine cities like Berlin, Paris, Havana, and Vienna. He also worked extensively in Sarajevo in the 1990s.

Burden, Ernest E 1934, New YorkL McGraw-Hill, c2000 It was suggested that the drawn spaces would lose their magic and meaning if they were to be physically built in real life, as they would lose their unique forms of detail and intricacy, which is only achieved through drawings. The particular series of etchings 'Prisons (Carceri d'invenzione) or 'Imaginary Prisons,' depict his famous fictitious and atmospheric etchings of Rome's ancient remains, and his dreams of antiquity that often surpassed reality. Etienne-Louis Boullee's Monument to Newton is considered to be more perfect due to its capability in successfully defying any attempt to physically use it, being the most magnificent unusable space images, a dome with its literal- minded fulfilment underfoot, in a second answering dome.Visionary Architecture: Unbuilt works of the imagination; Burden, Ernest E 1934; New York: McGraw-Hill, c2000 Claude Nicolas Ledoux, who studied under Jacques- François Blondel and Pierre Contant d'Ivry, built a number of projects ranging from private residences to the entire complex of the Royal Saltworks at Arc- et-Senans, but is also renowned for his utopian designs.
