Arcology Theory

Arcology
Concept of Ecological Human Habitats was introduced by Paolo Soleri in late 1960's, exploring an alternative urban development in the age of environmental crisis.

   

Paolo Soleri School of Thought
Soleri holds weekly discussion forums 'School of Thought' at our two locations: Cosanti in Scottsdale and Arcosanti.

   
 

"The problem I am confronting is the present design of cities only a few stories high, stretching outward in unwieldy sprawl for miles. As a result of their sprawl, they literally transform the earth, turn farms into parking lots and waste enormous amounts of time and energy transporting people, goods and services over their expanses. My solution is urban implosion rather than explosion."

-Paolo Soleri
