Arcosanti, Part 1 |
This week, my friend and fellow photographer, Greg Dunivant and I took a short road trip to Arcosanti, about an hour's drive north of Phoenix. Greg is a talented photographer as you can see from his website — http://www.gregdunivantphotography.com. We were here just for fun and exploration — and were greeted by this interesting sculpture with Arcosanti in the background. |

From their website, "Arcosanti is an urban laboratory focused on innovative design, community, and environmental accountability. Our goal is to actively pursue lean alternatives to urban sprawl based on Paolo Soleri's theory of compact city design, Arcology (architecture + ecology). Built by over 7,000 volunteers since the commencement of the project in 1970, Arcosanti provides various mixed-use buildings and public spaces where people live, work, visit, and participate in educational and cultural programs." |

After taking a few more steps and looking up we saw one of the apartments for workers, workshop attendees and casual guests. I like the see-through cabinet holding cooking supplies — I've never seen a design like that before. |
To be continued...
Life is good.
Aloha,
