These spaces, which he termed arcologies (architecture mixed with ecology), are proposed alternatives and responses to overpopulation and urban sprawl and decay. Soleri and his students and assistants began building an arcology, called Arcosanti, in the desert north of Phoenix, Ariz. in the late l960s. It was conceived as a prototype to show how cities might be updated, minimizing energy and transportation use while promoting human interaction. The community continues to operate and expand, and is visited by thousands of tourists each year. Soleri was the author of Arcology: The City in the Image of Man (1969), Arcosanti: An Urban Laboratory? (1987), and other books.
