Arcology is a term coined by Paolo Soleri to describe the concept of architecture and ecology working as one integral process to produce new urban habitats. Arcosanti, a project of the nonprofit Cosanti Foundation, is a prototype arcology under construction that, when complete, will house 5000 people by combining compact urban structure with large-scale solar greenhouses on 25 acres of a 4000 acre preserve. Arcosanti rises dramatically from basalt cliffs near Cordes Junction, 65 miles north of Phoenix.
Since 1970 thousands of students and professionals have come to Arcosanto to participate in seminars, conferences and workshops conducted by Soleri and his staff. The Colly Soleri Music Center offers a program of performing artists. Arcosanti, open daily hosts 50,000 visitors annually.
"As urban architecture, Arcosanti is probably the most important experiment undertaken in our lifetime." Newsweek
