Spaced Out - Crash Pads, Hippie Communes, Infinity Machines and Other
Radical Environments of the Psychedelic Sixties

http://www.retrotogo.com/2008/05/spaced-out---cr.html

Some of of the most extreme and indeed most interesting living spaces
of the 60s have been collected by Alastair Gordon in the
newly-published Spaced Out - Crash Pads, Hippie Communes, Infinity
Machines and Other Radical Environments of the Psychedelic Sixties.

As the name suggests, this hardback publication features architecture
and design influenced by the late 60s drug culture, along with the
radical designers behind these developments. But not only that, the
book promises never-before-published images of some of
brightly-coloured hippy communes of the day - dwellings created by a
new generation and a new way of thinking, along with background
detail about the hippie movement of the day.

Just published in the US, you can also pick it up in the UK via
Amazon for just over £23.
