Customer Reviews

A powerful man, a decent overview of a book

Having been to Arcosanti a few times, I wanted to learn a bit more about the man behind the small city. Paulo seems like a very amazing guy. He certainly believes stongly in community. Although this book isn't an in-depth work, it will give you a taste of the ideals at work in Soleri's architectural work and can act as an introduction to any of his massive volumes. Would suggest this book to anyone.
