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-reliance. 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.
