Inspire educational and cultural transformations grounded in the concept of arcology, integrating architecture and ecology to create equitable and sustainable human habitat. From blending the Italian words “cosa” and “anti,” meaning “against things,” Soleri named both his architectural design studio and the nonprofit foundation he founded “Cosanti,” as a deliberate critique of the rampant culture of consumerism he saw taking hold in the world.

Arcosanti primarily relies on passive solar techniques for temperature regulation. That being said, the project is not complete. For the comfort of guests not used to Arizona temps, there is a window AC unit in the master bedroom and fans to help circulate the air. It will help to keep the space about 10 degrees cooler than the outside temps. We ask that you open all the doors and windows at night and then close them up along with the curtains in the morning. During the hottest days it can end up being quite warm. Please enjoy the pool and breezy shaded Colley garden during the hottest parts of the day. A damp bandana around the neck is also very effective.
