"Communes," Buddhist Economics ", the bricolage aesthetic of" adhocism "in the early 1970s," Digger "activism in San Francisco and Provo activism in Amsterdam, the production of" People's Parks' by community action and even the hippy trail to India represented a search for altrnatives th what Herbert Marcuse, in his influential early critique, called "technological rationality". All operated on a different scale to the grand, even revolutionary schemes to create utopia in the world. This trend reached its apogee in the commune movement that took hold throughout North America and Western Europe in the late 1960s. The partecipants in these experimental social coominities acted witha range of different motivations: some were guided by Kropotkin’s anarchism, whilist others were angaged in a search for transcendental experience (and both strains were combined in the "primitive" Christianity promoted by some American communes). Other communes indulged in "back to the land" romanticism, with a fascinated writer in "Life" magazine describing their members as "refugees from affluence". Many of these diverse groups expressed their antagonism to mainstream lifestyles by turning to unorthodox architectural forms (when judged by the standrads set by Western housing), including domes derived from Buckminster Fuller’s inventive futurism as well yurts and other traditional nomadic tents. " (David Crowley - Jan Pavitt, Cold War Modern Design 1945 - 1970, London, V & A. Publishing, 2008: pp. 260 with illustration of the cover of the first issue).
