Step inside one of architecture’s most joyful and unconventional movements.

Join us for a special Q&A screening of Prickly Mountain / My Design/Build Life, followed by a Q&A with the film’s editor, Oliver Dawe.

About The Film

In the late ’60s and ’70s, a group of architects landed in Vermont with big ideas and a simple plan: to stop just designing buildings and start making them. Drawing from Bauhaus ideals but rejecting the rigidity of academia, they built by hand, embraced mistakes, and turned architecture into a wild, creative experiment. Director Allie Rood grew up in the middle of it all, playing in half-finished houses. Years later, she picks up a camera to trace the movement’s history, only to find herself building a house of her own.
