Arcosanti

Posted in milena muzquiz by milena on the March 21st, 2008

I was recently in Arizona playing a show with Los Super Elegantes and ventured into the desert to find great architectural projects like Paolo Soleris’ : Arcosanti.

“In 1970, the Cosanti Foundation began building Arcosanti, an experimental town in the high desert of Arizona, 70 miles north of metropolitan Phoenix. When complete, Arcosanti will house 5000 people, demonstrating ways to improve urban conditions and lessen our destructive impact on the earth. Its large, compact structures and large-scale solar greenhouses will occupy only 25 acres of a 4060 acre land preserve, keeping the natural countryside in close proximity to urban dwellers.”

    A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.

    Some people are more interested in old shows because for them, the store has more sense and characters have a sense of humor.
