Hippie modernism focused not on rigorous form but rather on a kind of socially inspired bricolage. Hippie modernism has been not only misunderstood but also underestimated. Buckminster Fuller’s concept of a ‘design science revolution’ inspired the hippie bricoleurs to shoulder their generation’s emerging notion of environmental stewardship. — PLACES JOURNAL
Greg Castillo pens a great article about one of the most overlooked and often dismissed role of hippies in what we have today greedily claimed by the millenials and known as "environmental movement."
“Hippie Modernism” is published in coordination with the Walker Art Center exhibition,Hippie Modernism: The Struggle for Utopia,

Hippie Moderists always become the most radical Libertarian Republican Fascists eventually.
when they get mugged or when someone hires frank gehry?
nice read from Places and Greg Castillo, but lets not forget Felicity Scott's books that brought Ant Farm back into the light (for some of us): 2008's Living Archive: Ant Farm and 2010's Architecture or Techno-Utopia and the 2012 Aspen Complex.
and kudos to the Walker for again helping to create great content and sharing it.
libertarian fascist is an oxymoron
