Description
A prototype for future world cities, this facility embodies the theory of arcology, the merging of architecture with ecology. Conceived by artist Paolo Soleri, this style of architecture creates a system where the living and the structure work together as organs do in a highly evolved being. Since 1970, this community has been striving to become the prototype for future pedestrian-oriented urban environments. Located 65 miles north of Phoenix off Interstate-17; exit 262 east following the signs. There is an onsite restaurant and gallery. Tours are available for visitors.
