you might be a fan of paulo soleri’s architecture, as illustrated in the book “city in the image of man” - he designs utopian megastructures (arcologies) that exist in spite of desolate conditions while still respecting our connection to nature: residences are at the edge of the city, so that the wilderness is always in view. You can stay in the guest rooms at Arcosanti, the city he started building in the 70s, it’s wonderful having a glass wall looking out to the barren desert, knowing i can walk 5 minutes up the path to a whole “city” of a cafe, theater, and workshops.
