RIP …

 Paolo Soleri 1919-2013. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)


In Arizona, Soleri developed his concept of "arcology" – architecture that embraces ecology in order to reduce energy use and waste, save water and promote interaction with the natural environment. Putting his ideas into practice, in 1970 he founded the counter-culture community of Arcosanti in the desert 70 miles north of Phoenix.
