Reviews"...his philosophical and environmental perceptions offer a sudden, stunning pertinence for today. He does not need the current bandwagon of despair. He has been preaching environment and ecology for a long time. But his ecology deals with both the natural and man-made world, in a very special mutual relationship. By his definition, architecture and ecology are two parts of the same thing, inseparable in their effect on man. He calls it 'arcology.'" -Ada Louise Huxtable, New York Times
Dewey Decimal711/.4
SynopsisThis edition contains all the text and illustrations found in the giant Arcology,photographically reduced somewhat to allow a lower price and enhanced handleability. "In the three-dimensional city, man defines a human ecology. In it he is a country dweller and metropolitan man in one. By it the inner and the outer are at 'skin' distance. He has made the city in his own image. Arcology: the city in the image of man." -Paolo Soleri
