In the 1960s, many young Americans were dissatisfied with American society.
They wanted to end the Vietnam War and to make all of the people in the U.S.
epual. Some of them decided to "drop out" of American society and form their own
societies . They formed utopian communities , which they called "communes,"
where they could follow their philosophy of "do your own thing." A group of
artists founded a commune in southern Colorado called "Drop City." Following the
ideas of philosopher and architect Buckminster Fuller they built domeshaped
houses from pieces of old cars. Other groups, such as author Ken Kesey's Merry
Pranksters, the followers fo San Francisco poet Steve Gakin, and a group that
called itself the Hog Farm, lived in old school huses and traveled around the
United States. The Hog Farm become famous when they helped organize the
Woodstock Rock Festival in 1969. Steve Gaskin's followers tried to settle down
on a farm in Tennessee, but they had to leave when some members of the gruop
were arrested for growing marijuana.
Not all communes believed in the philosophy of "do you own thing," however
. Twin Oaks , a commune founded in Virgiania in the late 1960s, was based on the
ideas of psychologist B.F.Skinner. The people who lived at Twin Oaks were
carefully controlled by Skinner's "conditioning" techniques to do things that
were good for the community. In 1972, Italian architect Paolo Soleri began to
build Arcosanti, a utopian city Arizsona where 2500 people will live closely
together in one large building called an "archology" Soleri believes that people
must live closely together so that they will all become one.
