	The Christian, the Future, and Paolo Soleri
		Paolo Soleri, architect and prophet, sees the profound connection between cities and civilizations, and he affirms both.
		Our problem, he says, is not that we have become urbanized but that we have built our cities in such a way as to sacrifice our relation to nature for the sake of urban values; and the ironic result is that for most of their inhabitants our cities no longer provide even urban values.
		Soleri believes that the fundamental problem of the city is that it is only two-dimensional -- a thin web of human life and human construction stretched over a large area.

	Chapter 2
		Arcology is the term coined by Paolo Soleri that describes the concept that embodies the fusion of architecture (arc-) with ecology (-ology).
		Soleri stands in direct opposition to popular thought when he declares not the usual Bauhaus idea of "form follows function," but instead the idea of "function follows form." He substantiates this by noting that his idea is, in large part, the way things work in nature.
		Paolo Soleri is not one to be satisfied simply to think, draw and argue; he wants to transfer his vision into stone and flesh.

	Paolo Soleri@Everything2.com
		Soleri's vision was to begin, not with the micro-level of a "green" house, but with a whole "green" city housed in a complex of several connected buildings that incorporates all the familiar uses of a city (housing, work, entertainment) and more (agriculture, industry, building) in in an "arcology".
		While Soleri lives there, and the inhabitants seem happy and have evolved a truly toothsome cuisine, the city remains at only 3% completion...and is rapidly decaying, the result of a too-quick building boom in the early 70's.
		Soleri came to the United States in 1947 and spent a year-and-a-half in fellowship with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West in Arizona, and at Taliesin East in Wisconsin.

	Soleri, Paolo -- Arcology (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Paolo Soleri should be must reading for people attempting to address the larger social issues of our day, particularly as they relate to our built environment.
		Paolo Soleri is actually a professed anti-utopian, who defines utopia as the act of giving up, of disavowing the human urge to advance and improve.
		The only allowance Soleri does make for distance is the suggestion that if we want so much to prove our greatness and dominion over nature, we should prove that we can turn places inimical to a density of life into wonderful places to live and leave the pleasant places free for agriculture.

	arcology of love: Paolo Soleri
		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.
		Soleri believes "the city is a necessary instrument for the evolution of the human spirit."5 He envisions arcologies as living, open universities, open to all ages of people.
		Soleri's role is that of an artist who is creating the ultimate sculpture by reinventing the city, when the real need of our times is to create the new social relationships that the possibilities of building arcologies would allow us to create.

		As much a visionary as he is an architect, Paolo Soleri, born in Turin in 1919, worked with Frank Lloyd Wright in the late 1940s and went on to develop his own organically expressive architecture.
		This comprehensive monograph, the first on Soleri to be published in the United States, follows his entire career through a presentation of drawings, sketches, and built work.
		Based on Soleri's concept of "Arcology," architecture sympathetic to ecology, Arcosanti embodies Soleri's urban ideals: to maximize the interaction and accessibility associated with an urban environment; to minimize the use of energy, raw materials, and land, thus reducing waste and environmental pollution; and to allow interaction with the surrounding natural environment.

		Paolo Soleri envisioned such cities and his drawings will inspire you and spark your imagination of what could be.
		Soleri has some legitimate cultural and designs criticisms (after all, who doesn't?) but he tries to merge these with inscrutable mystical gibberish, and he delights in creating lots of impressive-sounding words as he pretends that these words actually connect with scientific concepts.
		The problem is, Soleri hasn't a clue about authentic SOCIAL organization and problems (as any authentic text on Urban Planning, Sociology, etc. will be able to point out), and instead he dishes out heaps of mystical, idealized jargon with the idea that it's somehow actually feasible simply because it expresses his own personal ideals.

	The Sound of Distant Bells - Arcosanti Bells - By Ray Wyman, Jr.
		Soleri's observations crystallized into a revolutionary notion: miniaturize the city to a human scale that enables conservation of land, energy, and other resources; in short, a wholesale reconstruction of the Earth's cities into ecologically sustainable urban systems.
		Soleri himself has been commissioned to draft urban redevelopment plans for major cities in the United States and Europe, and he has designed various designs for space colonization habitats.
		The project was enormously successful and Soleri ended up with enough experience in the ceramics business to start his own factory; an asset that Colly deftly used to launch Cosanti Originals after construction on Arcosanti began.

		These megastructures were designed to conserve energy and resources (partly through reliance on solar energy and elimination of automobile use within the city), preserve natural surroundings, and condense human activities within integrated total environments.
		Soleri coined the term arcology (from architecture”; and ecology”;) to describe his utopian constructions, which he delineated in drawings of great beauty and imagination.
		In 1970 he began constructing a prototype town called Arcosanti, for a population of 5,000, between Phoenix and Flagstaff, Ariz. The work, by students and volunteers, is still in progress.

		Paolo Soleri is best known for his concept of "arcology," which most people think of in terms of its surface meaning: “architecture plus ecology,” the design of car-less, ecologically sustainable cities.
		Paolo's ideas are radically "progressive" in that he claims there is a real possibility, however small, that life in our universe can achieve the ultimate long-term progress of the “Omega Seed.” The Omega Seed is free from the suffering imposed by the physical constraints of the material universe.
		By Miniaturization, Paolo implies a process of increasing complexity in ever smaller spaces, whose ultimate outcome is the integration of all possibilities, from all parallel universities in the entire history of the cosmos, into a tiny volume at the Big Crunch of the cosmos during the final moments of its recollapse phase..

	Soleri and Bill Gates
		Soleri’s reaction to Wright’s vision was to build a prototype arcology (architecture and ecology), a pedestrian city that was built three-dimensionally so that the surrounding land could remain wilderness area, not like the two-dimension horizontal city of Wright’s Broadacre City.
		Soleri is concerned with building a container rather than the social architecture.
		In Soleri’s worldview, at the end of space, there is the Omega Seed, an event when consciousness is so aware of itself that a resurrection occurs.

		Notes: Most seats in the Paolo Soleri are exposed to the elements, so plan for the weather; remember that temperatures in the desert drop fast at night, so bring a jacket even if you were sweating it all day.
