The late architect Paolo Soleri was one of many thinkers in the 20th century looking for a way to make better use of Earth\u2019s bounty, and he saw one of the biggest problems coming from something we see all the time: urban sprawl. Enter his project, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcosanti.org\/\">Arcosanti<\/a> \u2014 an experiment-turned-society where architecture and ecological understanding are implemented to create a city that uses resources to the best of its ability without ruining nature in the process.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5102\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5102\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5102\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/sod-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5102\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Arocsanti<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Arcosanti\"><\/span>What Is Arcosanti?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcosanti.org\/about\/\">Arcosanti<\/a> is the first \u201cproof of concept\u201d that Paolo Soleri began in the 1970s to show the world the benefits of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcosanti.org\/arcology\/\">arcology<\/a>,\u201d or the blending of architecture and ecology. Under his guidance, the structure of this Arizona town is exemplary in showing how humans can coexist in their natural environment without destroying it unnecessarily with urban sprawl. No need to turn \u201cfarms into parking lots\u201d with a structure that vertically and ergonomically accommodates the people living there.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5103\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5103\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-5103\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/phoenix\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/amp-1-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5103\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Arocsanti<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Can_You_Do_There\"><\/span>What Can You Do There?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Arcosanti is a place unlike any other in Arizona, so naturally, some sightseeing is in order: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcosanti.org\/tours\/\">tours<\/a> are led by full-time residents of the community to show visitors the most outstanding features of the uniquely structured town; hands-on workshops on varying principles such as metalworking and theatrical lighting are other ways to get involved as well.
