  ARCHIGRAM Project 151: Foulness by Peter Cook (1971).

  Towards a Quietly Technologised Folk Suburbia.
  The crater city and the hedgerow village are two parts of a strategy for the hinterland to the new Foulness Airport. Instead of building an ‘airport city’ we propose to provide either of two extreme suburb types.

  The hedgerow village is a surreptitious development which is progressively fed into narrow strips alongside large fields. Each village would be imperceptible from the country lane. Each village would permit the implanting of a very wide range of dwelling types from ‘architected’ houses to wayfarers with sleeping bags and spanning through lean-tos, inflatable tents, caravans, etc, a deliberately relaxed and ramshackle combination/conglomeration.

  La Region Centrale by Michael Snow (1969, 3 hours).

  The film will become a kind of absolute record of a piece of wilderness… a record of the last wilderness on earth, a film to be taken into outer space as a souvenir of what nature once was. I want to convey a feeling of absolute aloneness, a kind of Goodbye to earth which I believe we are living through… It will preserve what will increasingly become an extreme rarity: wilderness. Perhaps aloneness will also become a rarity.

  I feel horror at the though of the humanizing of the entire planet.
