Architecture is largely a discipline that sits on stilts, away from the floodlands of the people that use it in everyday life. In the last few years, people have started to shake the pillars architecture sits on, building their own weird little houses, crowdfunding their own architectural projects, and using buildings to solve small-scale problems. Architecture started gurgling up from the grasses; Colorado’s 1965 Drop City, a counterculture community considered by some to be architecture’s decent stab at sexual utopia, was built on a premise that entire societies could be impromptu art performances.
