ARCOLOGY



Arcology is based on Paolo Soleri's concept of the development of
compact 3-D alternatives to existing urban sprawls, combining more
efficient use of land and resources. In the future, mankind will
be pressed closer and closer together in a vast urban sprawl.

As society is deals with a rise in population and population density,
while having to deliver a much more efficient use of resources, use
of the arcology will become commonplace.

ECOLOGY



What is ‘Arcology’? It is a concept introduced by architect, Paolo Soleri,
who defined it in his book Arcology: City in the Image of Man; the idea
of a fusion between architecture and ecology and an ecological vision in
response to city growth.

The premise of an arcology is to be a self-sufficient, green building that
is more of a small town as a result of its size and the number of services
it houses. The inhabitants of this ‘small city’ would benefit from services
such as waste management, power generation and transport as part of the
same development.

The concept was created as a solution to one of the serious problems faced
by modern society: the overcrowding of cities as the result of population
increase and the consequent loss of natural environments. Thus, this new
wave of architecture opts for vertical growth, with the construction of
huge skyscrapers that occupy the least space possible, as well as making a
commitment to minimizing environmental impact.
