The Domes of Drop City, Colorado, 1969
Influenced by the 60s psychedelic movement, an interesting group of architects and designers manipulated space with the aim of triggering higher states of consciousness and living experience. Some of these projects have recently been collated in Alistair Gordon's Spaced Out. A great read for anyone passionate about living off-grid. Leary's turn-on-tune-in-drop-out mantra inspired a whole generation of brightly coloured bucky domes, identified by cool names like Drop City and Morning Star.
