	Arcology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Popular in science fiction, arcologies are generally advocated as solutions to the problems of overpopulation and environmental degradation, as they reduce the ecological footprint of cities.
		Arcologies are common elements in futuristic anime and manga titles.
		In the film Equilibrium, an arcology named Libria is the last human civilization, a society in which peace is kept by the forced administration of an injected liquid drug designed to completely suppress emotions.

		Arcology advocates cities designed to maximize the interaction and accessibility associated with an urban environment; minimize the use of energy, raw materials and land, reducing waste and environmental pollution; and allow interaction with the surrounding natural environment.
		Arcology theory holds that this leanness is obtainable only via the miniaturization intrinsic to the Urban Effect, the complex interaction between diverse entities and organisms which mark healthy systems both in the natural world and in every successful and culturally significant city in history.
		Arcology, architecture and ecology as one integral process, is capable of demonstrating positive response to the many problems of urban civilization, population, pollution, energy and natural resource depletion, food scarcity and quality of life.

	Paolo Soleri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An arcology is a hyperdense city designed to maximize human interaction; maximize access to shared, cost-effective infrastructural services like water and sewage; minimize the use of energy, raw materials and land; reduce waste and environmental pollution; and allow interaction with the surrounding natural environment.
		Arcosanti is the prototype of the desert arcology.
		In 1989 "Paolo Soleri Habitats: Ecologic Minutiae," and exhibition of arcologies, space habitats and bridges, was presented at the New York Academy of Sciences.

		Arcology is the combination of architecture and ecology, resulting in a human habitat that alleviates some of the problems associated with urban sprawl.
		A PhD of architecture, Soleri is the inventor of the arcology philosophy and the founder of the Cosanti Foundation.
		A very tall arcology could take advantage of its height to power a hybrid hydroelectric/water distribution system, supplying running water and powering generators at the same time during the day then pumping the water back to tanks at the top of the structure at night.

	Chapter 2
		Arcology is the term coined by Paolo Soleri that describes the concept that embodies the fusion of architecture (arc-) with ecology (-ology).
		Arcologies, however, are not blue-prints for a new urban civilization, but rather a guideline toward a new option.
		Arcologies combat this by eliminating the automobile, the main protagonist and facilitator of sprawl, from within its shell, and by weaving living, learning, leisure, culture and working together into a cohesive and integrated frame.

		The ecological significance of the first generation arcologies derives mainly from the elimination of the motorcar, and the reclamation of all the space that is normally associated with this form of transportation.
		Arcologies, through a blend of energy conservation and land use efficiencies together with waste recycling systems, could maintain the ecological integrity of the region while placing fewer demands on the environment in terms of land, water, soil, fuel, and other resources.
		Arcology is a fused word adopted by Paolo Soleri to describe both a theory of urban design rooted in the discipline of architecture and the science of ecology as well as a physical structure designed according to arcological principles.

	Living at Arcosanti
		Underneath the arcology are pasted the words, "Are We Closer to the Dream?" and "Total Revolution." I so was affected by Soleri's image of an evolutionary city that I was inspired to develop my own vision of an ecocity based on the principles outlined in the arcology.
		Arcology is a holistic concept in which space is not divided between the sacred and the secular.
		Since arcology is a container based on a holistic vision, not a sprawl where each man or woman owns his or her own castle, is it now essential that a new economic order be developed at Arcosanti, one that allows for free economic and social development within a container.

	Arcology Systems
		An arcology is a combination of architecture with ecology, essentially forming an environmentally friendly human living system well suited to systems engineering analysis.
		The concept of the arcology was first introduced in the 1950s by architect Paolo Soleri as the ultimate urban planning solution to the problems of metropolitan growth.
		Naturally, the arcology is simply what a city would be if it was to be designed by competent systems engineers (of course, a feat easier said than done).

		Soleri writes, "The basic shape of the city itself acts as a sun collector in the winter and a giant awning in summer."3 Additionally, arcologies are densely organized and conserve land: a three dimensional arcology covers a fraction of the land of a comparably populated flat city.
		In an arcology fewer service-maintance people are needed, so the bureaucratic machinery is reduced to a fraction of the former size of horizontal cities.
		In an arcology of a million people, an individual can be fifteen minutes walking time in conjunction with horizontal, vertical, and angular pedestrian transit systems, to any part of the city.

		Arcology (short for Architectural Ecology) is a term used to describe a self-sustaining colony, typically a massive building which does not need to import or export supplies to stay running and maintain a population of humans.
		The most famous arcology is the SCIRE, due to its presence in Seattle and its catastrophic shutdown.
		Other commonly known arcologies include the off-shore arkoblocks built by Proteus AG and the Yamatetsu Saotome AquaDomes.

		Also, he assumes a more levelled societal playing field where all of us, regardless of wealth or lack thereof, have roughly the same amount of home space or business space as everyone else.
		A further solution for this problem, though with some difficulties of its own, is that of Paolo Soleri, who coined the term 'arcology'.
		While this led to many science fiction interpretations of domed cities, Soleri's ideas aren't just the "human beehive" model popular in sci-fi.

		What I am visualizing is a mass exodus occurring from our dying civilization to a more evolved, holistic developmental pattern that allows us to have individual freedom along side of the responsibility of the collective.
		I'm excited with the idea of arcology as a center of culture, a place where arts are not on the side lines of civilization but are the life blood of the people.

		The arcology model proposes that space faring colonists settled on Mars by burrowing deep into its surface, resulting in the excavation of massive amounts of spoil which was used to build the above ground level Cydonian formations.
		One of the problems with confirming the arcology model is that the hypothetical arcologies would be sealed against the outside environment.
		Although erosion of the thick, outer shell of the hypothetical arcologies might expose honeycombing associated with structural engineering, the resulting debris would tend to fall into and fill these small hollow spaces.

		The arcology concept is meant to minimize the necessary structure for high human population densities by ensuring everyone has direct access to them.
		Arcologies are also meant as an alternative to slums, where the population density outweighs the intended carrying capacity of the civil infrastructure.
		In modern times, the arcology has been featured as a futuristic building in the popular computer game SimCity 2000, and the movie Blade Runner.

	Recursive Arcology
		A recursive arcology is a virch-based existence in which (for example) there is significant conflict between sophonts within a virch, each virch has significant conflicts for computronium, each computronium substrate has significant conflicts for power, and each power producer has significant conflicts for limited supplies of matter.
		Most Recursive Arcology projects are banned from the majority of Sephirotic space for various reasons (excessive entropy in Negentropic space, blocking/limiting growth potential in Keter, Solarian, and Sophic League spaces, etc)
		Often regarded as the most perverse version of recursive arcology was the 'Worm' recursive arcology once found (and, allegedly, still stored inactive on computronium) in Version Tree space.
