An Arcology is based on Paolo Soleri's concept of the development of compact 3-D alternatives to existing urban sprawls, combining more efficient use of land and resources. In the future, mankind will be pressed closer and closer together in a vast urban sprawl. As society is deals with a rise in population and population density, while having to deliver a much more efficient use of resources, use of the arcology will become commonplace.
Arcosanti is a project of the Cosanti Foundation initiated by Paolo Soleri
Acrosanti 5000
The most recent reshuffling of space nudging toward a more self-aware speck of reality. I call it the Lean Alternative in contrast to the consumption unlimited of our society.
A process architecture, space organizing itself, aware and use of the sun presence, in moving incrementally (the six phases) into higher degrees of complexity, the urbanizing process.
Each apse exedra leaf "knows" more than the preceding, not out of magic, but out of experience (of the preceding). The enriching experience of a growing urban effect. It is the prototypical instrument adding accesses to the richer sound which the players, residents and guest, might want to employ while growing from 100 to 5000 or so.
--Paolo Soleri
