	A Personal Look at Arcosanti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It is a monument to Paolo Soleri, Arcosanti's founder and chief visionary.
		It is universal knowledge amongst the "sustainability set" that the ideal way to build a structure is to put the thermal mass on the inside of the wall and insulation on the outside, so you create a "thermal flywheel effect," which automatically and elegantly moderates and stabilizes the inside temperature.
		Arcosanti was originally designed as an "urban laboratory," to test concepts that Soleri hoped to ultimately employ in his "hyper cities." In this vision, a huge, multi-story building (built of reinforced concrete, no doubt) would house an entire city, and would be much more efficient of materials and space than our modern urban sprawls.

	Wired News: Arcosanti Meets the Way New Age
		In fact, a millennial fever of some sort seemed to be generally in the air around the art colony and "urban experiment" founded by architect Paolo Soleri in the high scrubby desert 70 miles north of Phoenix for the purpose of fighting the late-20th-century scourges of sprawl and consumerism through responsible design and frugality.
		The Arcosanti compound itself - a small clump of highly geometrical buildings projected one day to house 6,000 people on 25 verticalized acres - is only 4 percent complete after 17 years, but the rise of new technologies has revived interest in the saving power of enlightened design and connected community.
		One of the original Arcosanti crew who was back for the conference explained the present confluence: "We are five years into the prophecy," according to the Mayan calendar, and the cyber world represents the coming of a higher consciousness.

		A science fiction-like wonderland of domes and apses on a desert mesa 70 miles north of Phoenix, Arcosanti is Paolo Soleri's rejoinder to the American ideal of a house with a lawn and a two-car garage.
		Arcosanti (the name derives from architecture, ecology and cosanti, Soleri's coined Italian for anticonsumerism) is a prototype community designed to provide housing and facilities for 5,000 people on 25 acres—about 10 percent of the space that a like number of inhabitants would typically occupy in suburbia.
		He compares Arcosanti to an instrument: "I say to my friends that I have invented the piano so that you could perform your music." He then admits with a smile that people are beginning to wonder when the instrument will be played.

	Arcology and Arcosanti: Towards a Sustainable Built Environment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Since 1970 a prototype has been constructed at Arcosanti in the central Arizona desert to test the validity of the arcology model exploring such issues as the intensification in the use of space, higher residential densities, centralization, compactness, the integration of land uses, and self-containment of habitat.
		Arcosanti’s semi-arid location in the desert presents particular challenges to settlement but by adopting a higher concentration of land use deriving from a mixed use development it demonstrates an effective method of altering the impact of a settlement on the natural environment.
		Arcosanti is the name given by Soleri to the 30th arcology published in 1969 in Arcology: The City in the Image of Man.
