Responsibility - Self-Sustainability - Accountablility

Urban Theory / Design Lab envisioning a responsible, self-sustainable and advanced urban order for cities of the future.

Our mission is to better understand the origin of the damaging forces greatly affecting our living and urban environments. We aim to assist Humankind in rediscovering the greater value of who we are while providing the visionary concepts of what our world has the potential to become.

Future Prospects

In February of the year 2010, I will be venturing out west to the state of Arizona in order to participate in the Arcosanti Arcology Program, an urban laboratory where a new form of city planning and development is leading by example toward a future of communities which embrace a system based on local ecology and self-sustainablility. I hope to experience, first hand, the promise and future of this advanced form of urban planning and development; which may hold the prospective concepts of building toward a truely ecological and responsible form of community design. I will post most of my experiences here on the Archidron Design website, and establish a forum of sorts in order to engage conversation over the form of urban planning known as Arcology.

Please visit the Arcosanti website by linking below and explore a future already established.
