NileGuide Expert Says:
An experiment in community and sustainable living. Locals live as conscientiously and creatively as they can.
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, gallery and free tours ($6 donation is suggested) are available for visitors every hour from 10a-4p.
