Arcology, a harmonious fusion of architecture and ecology, embodies a holistic urban perspective. In the natural world, organisms evolve, becoming more intricate and compact. Similarly, cities should follow suit, evolving as living systems. Arcosanti, the iconic city in Arizona, exemplifies this concept by undergoing a radical transformation, restructuring its vast urban landscape into a condensed, integrated, three-dimensional microcosm. Here, community, creativity, and connection with the environment flourish.
