Abstract
This paper reviews some aspects of the nineteenth-century religious communitarian sect, the Shakers. It concentrates particularly on the environmental and other technical design aspects of the Shaker communities, setting these within the context of Shaker life and beliefs. Their design policy produced not just individual artefacts (such as the furniture for which the Shakers are particularly well known) but a total, Utopian environment which reflected and embodied their beliefs.
