The Arcosanti Workshop is the best way to experience Arcosanti firsthand. Since 1970, over 6,000 workshop participants have contributed to the ongoing construction and maintenance of Arcosanti. The program brings people from all over the world, with a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences, to live and work at Arcosanti for one to four weeks. The Arcosanti Workshop combines academic and experiential learning as participants study Paolo Soleri’s concepts and designs while contributing to the building of the arcology (architecture + ecology). Soleri proposes a lean urban alternative which is a highly integrated and compact three-dimensional form rejecting the need for urban sprawl with its inherently wasteful consumption of land, energy, time and human resources. During the Four-week Workshop participants come to understand the why and wherefore of the world’s first prototype arcology.The workshop program is a prerequisite for residency and emloyment at Arcosanti. Once a participant completes the workshop, they are eligible for volunteer or paid positions in one of the departments at Arcosanti.Prerequisites: Previous construction or architectural knowledge is not a prerequisite for participation in our program. However, individuals must be at least 18 years of age or accompanied by a parent to attend the program.Workshop Seminar Start Dates in 2007: FEB 4 • MAR 4 • APR 1 • MAY 6 • JUNE 3 • JULY 1 • AUG 5 • SEPT 2 • OCT 7 • NOV 4Fees: (tuition, room, board and field trip) Four Week Workshop: $ 1,125How to Apply: Workshop Coordinator at Arcosanti (928)632-6233 [email protected] HC 74, Box 4136 Mayer, AZ 86333 further information: www.arcosanti.org
