Here is our land and we hope to have a house completed on it by August or September of 2008!
An Arcology is a set of architectural design principles as described by the architect Paolo Soleri. According to Soleri, the basic ideas of arcology stem from concerns that urbanization is claiming an excessive amount of space on Earth and that a more efficient, technologically-driven but ecologically gentle option, is to increase population densities into minimal "footprints" that would preserve surrounding lands for natural ecosystems. We are trying to do our own part by giving up close to 500 feet of house to build a smaller green house with less land. We hope to do solar and all native landscaping requiring virtually no water.
