Paolo Soleri

Sull'autore

Paolo Soleri was an Italian architect, designer, and philosopher known for his innovative concepts of arcology, a blend of architecture and ecology. His work emphasized the need for sustainable living and urban design that harmonizes with nature. Soleri founded the experimental community of Arcosanti in Arizona, which serves as a living laboratory for his ideas on urbanism and environmentalism. His vision was to create cities that reduced human impact on the environment while promoting community interaction and sustainability.

Throughout his career, Soleri published numerous works and engaged in dialogues about the future of urban spaces. His books, including 'Arcology: The City in the Image of Man,' explore the integration of architecture with ecological principles. Soleri's influence extends into various fields, inspiring architects, urban planners, and environmentalists to rethink the relationship between human habitats and the natural world.
