    head.gif (2877 by tes) Issue 18 Earth Day 2003 ISSN: 1076-7975 Arcology and Arcosanti1: Towards a Sustainable Built Environment David Grierson Department of Architecture, University of Strathclyde, Scotland ..................................... Around the world, as cities reach unprecedented sizes, their increasing social and environmental problems need to be addressed if we are to avoid catastrophe. Paolo Soleri’s arcology model aims at a more balanced relationship between urban form and efficiency of performance within a unique conception of the modern city. Since 1970 a prototype has been constructed at Arcosanti in the central Arizona desert to test the validity of the arcology model exploring such issues as the intensification in the use of space, higher residential densities, centralization, compactness, the integration of land uses, and self-containment of habitat. This essay describes both the arcology theory and the Arcosanti project and how the related ongoing work has wider significance in responding to some of the overlapping challenges that are involved in a movement towards more sustainable built environments. “We do not inherit the earth from our parents, we borrow it from our children” A Kenyan proverb “…and we have no right, by any thing we do or neglect, to involve them in unnecessary penalties, or deprive them of benefits which it was in our power to bequeath.” John Ruskin The Seven Lamps of Architecture I Over one hundred and fifty years ago John Ruskin, in his treatise on reforming architecture, described the earth as a “great entail,” belonging as much to those who are to come after us, as to us.

  • The Only Way to Build Is Upwards: the Tallest Public Housing Development Project in Singapore
    The Only Way to Build is Upwards: The Tallest Public Housing Development Project in Singapore Grace Wong K.M. Senior Lecturer Department of Real Estate School of Design and Environment National University of Singapore Email: [email protected] Abstract Singapore, whose land area is approximately 660 square kilometres, is one of the most densely- populated cities in the world. Although land reclamation efforts have gradually increased the land size of the island-city-state, this approach to resolve the problem of land scarcity has its limitations. In the 2001 review of the Concept Plan, the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore (URA) has estimated that Singapore would have a projected population of 5.5 million by 2040. This translates into 800,000 more homes or 6,400 ha of land that is needed to meet the demand for housing. Taking into account the other competing demands for land resources, the Concept Plan 2001 has suggested constructing taller buildings. With 85% of Singapore’s population residing in public housing, the Housing and Development Board (HDB), being the largest provider of housing in Singapore, has initiated the development of new 50-storeys public housing in August 2001. The 50-storeys public housing development, which consists of more than 2,000 dwellings, is the first of its kind in Singapore. This paper provides an insight into the potential residents’ perception, attitudes, concerns and acceptability of such a high-rise high- density housing development which has features that are similar to the concept of a vertical city. Findings reveal that despite being accustomed to four decades of high-rise, high-density living, only 42% of Singaporeans would choose to live in such super high-rise dwellings.

First, thank you to my mother Patricia Jackson, the one person who has faithfully and genuinely loved me and supported me since my embryonic stages—literally and intellectually. She was an inspiration to many in my extended family—fathers, brothers, sisters, and children—who were vital through this doctoral quest. Second, my gratitude goes to Paul Hawken who so generously shared his insights through his many fabulous books and his friendship with me; you are a beacon of hope and an example of rare intellect and uncommon kindness. You inspire me. Many people crossed my path perhaps briefly, but with great impact: Sim Van der Ryn, Patrice Pike, Ray Anderson, Dr. Will Focht, Dr. Donald French, Dr. Amanda Harrist, Dr. Melanie Page, President David Schmidly, President Hargis and Mrs. Anne Hargis, President John Bardo, Dr. Harold Glasser, Michael Haskins (a kind stranger with editing skills) and my gracious, faithful friend and foe to the bitter end, President Bob of Van Kirk University.

Paolo Soleri and Arcology: An Analytical Comparison to Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Kahn Henry Millard University of Arkansas Fall 2017 Thesis Advisor: David Buege Departmental Member: Dr. Jeff Shannon Non-Departmental Member: Dr. Fiona Davidson ABSTRACT The city proposals of Paolo Soleri, he called them arcologies, are monumental and complex geometric megastructures intended to project great heights above desert horizons. These proposals purposefully abandon conventional notions of the city. Soleri was physically isolated in his remote Arizona urban laboratory, Arcosanti, and philosophically detached from the professional urban design community. His proposals were often too easily understood as foreign and radical dystopian architectural metaphors meant to provoke thought more than to project an actual future. There is limited discourse on Soleri and this tends to isolate him in a vacuum, ignoring possible connections or parallels in his work and that of his contemporaries or predecessors.

Mall owners and tenants have exploited this quasi public characterby inviting government agencies to become tenants in the malls ("City Hall at the Mall") despite claiming that malls are private property where constitutionallyprotected freedoms do not apply.
