“That was always the cliff of the design questions: Why not leave it the way it is?” —Curtis Schreier, Ant Farm architecture collective

You asked for more architecture and design videos, so here we go. We will admit to being a bit obsessed with The Sea Ranch, the design and architecture community built on the northern California coast in the early 1960s, and its temple-of-modernism meets hippie-commune vibe. The Sea Ranch reminds us of a more fully realized – not to mention successful – big brother to Drop City, the artist commune in southern Colorado, also formed in the mid-1960s.

The Sea Ranch: Architecture, Environment, and Idealism, is on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art through April 28, 2019. The exhibition brings together original sketches and drawings from the project’s designers, along with archival images, photographs of The Sea Ranch today, and a full-scale architectural replica. In this video, SFMoMA pays a visit to Sea Ranch and speaks with some of its founding members.
