Prickly Mountain, and My Design/Build Life
In a wooded valley in Vermont stand a number of very exceptional structures. Self-built, oriented towards nature, and with angles sticking out in all directions. These are the houses of the design/built movement, a distinctive architectural community founded in the 1960s under the leadership of architect David E. Sellers.
In a wooded valley in Vermont stand a number of truly exceptional structures. Self-built, oriented towards nature, and with angles sticking out in all directions. These are the houses of the design/build movement, an unconventional architectural community founded in the 1960s under the leadership of architect David E. Sellers. With her charming debut film, Prickly Mountain, and My Design/Built Life, filmmaker Allie Rood offers a personal look at this community in which she grew up. The film , which took nine years to make, tells the story of a playful free-form architecture in which craftsmanship, community, and sustainability take center stage.
