In the 1960s and 70s, a group of restless architecture students move to a remote mountainous town in Vermont, becoming the birthplace of an architectural revolution.

Filmmaker Allie Rood, a native of East Warren, VT, examines the roots of the Design/Build architecture and maker movement which raised her. Shown through interviews with leading designers and other innovators -- framed by footage of the region’s buildings, inventions, and community traditions -- this film reveals how a counter-cultural movement from the 1960s blossomed into a blueprint for a way of building and living that is ripe for the challenges of the 21st century.
