“Dans «Urban Structuring», les Smithson proposent une «contribution à un fragmente d’utopie» où la «poésie du mouvement» coexiste avec le sentiment de quiétude, coome le ville de la machine avec «le porte de pêche, la place du marché, le quai où les vielles technologies et les façons de faire les choses existent toujours» (p. 75). Le «fragment” d’utopie nie simultanément l’utopie, tuoujours totale»”. (Rouillard).
