“Arcosanti” Fall/Winter 2016

“Arcology recognizes the necessity for radical reorganization of sprawling urban landscape into dense, integrated, three-dimensional cities in order to support the complex activities that sustain human culture.”

Paolo Soleri, architect, visionary founder of Arcosanti.

“Arcosanti’s message is that “Life is in the think of things”. We are not futurists. We are not trying to predict the future with this project; we are trying to design it our of what we know about the present. Let me just confide what we do know: the current global tsunami of consumption…of objects, materials, energy and land, is leading to disaster. Both Economic and Ecological. For the whole world’s population (7 billion people) to live the way 314 million americans live now, would take 5 earths to support, this is no joke.”

Jeff Stein, president Cosanti Foundation
