Have you heard of Paolo Soleri's "arcology" concept? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcology
- simonebrunozzi 6y agoYes, I even visited Arcosanti a few years back!
- carapace 6y agoAh, that's so cool. My dream is something like Christopher Alexander's Pattern Language, extended with the content and patterns from Bill Mollison's Permaculture Designers' Manual, and leavened with the arcology concept. (What about John Todd's "Living Machines" work? You hip? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wojrOpH5O7M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wojrOpH5O7M )
- simonebrunozzi 6y agoI am not familiar with John Todd's work. I will take a look!
- carapace 6y agoCheers! I'm not a domain expert but his work seems to me to be even more advanced than things like regenerative agriculture. He's actually designing and constructing "machines" that include ecosystems as elements.
