Arcosanti 5000 Site Plan : Paolo Soleri |
ARCOLOGY as exemplified by ARCOSANTI
5000
The most recent reshuffling of space nudging
toward a more self-aware speck of reality. I call it the Lean
Alternative in contrast to the consumption unlimited of our
society.
A process architecture, space organizing
itself, aware and use of the sun presence, in moving incrementally
(the six phases) into higher degrees of complexity, the urbanizing
process.
Each apse exedra leaf "knows"
more than the preceding, not out of magic, but out of experience
(of the preceding). The enriching experience of a growing
urban effect. It is the prototypical instrument adding accesses
to the richer sound which the players, residents and guest,
might want to employ while growing from 100 to 5000 or so.
