Eine Plattform für die Wissenschaft: Bauingenieurwesen, Architektur und Urbanistik
The structural, formal, and social eccentricity of the Drop City artists' commune in Colorado defied conventional definition as architecture, but rendered it a singular motif in accounts of experimental architecture, and made it a countercultural domicile without peer. Drop City's architectural innovations included a “bricolage” interpretation of Richard Buckminster Fuller's geodesic domes, a geometric structural system known as the Zome, and passive solar devices. Before it became a spectacle of degeneration, Drop City was posited as a creative laboratory for cultural and environmental “praxis,” and it remains a case study of altered architectural parameters.
