Arcosanti

Architecture is one of our themes as we travel. Acrosanti, a creation of Paulo Soleri, is a work in progress/lab for alternatives to our dependence on cars in our daily lives. The plan is to live, work, shop, and have entertainment all within adjacent buildings. This project was started in the seventies and interns come to work and test their own ideas. There is a wonderful suite (a bit rugged) with an amazing view that would be an unusual place to stay (Francis Ford Coppola stayed there).

Isn't that typically what urban living provides?
