Arcology is about the life support systems that
humans will need if they want to survive the future, and the relationship of
architecture.
The basics are to minimize the everything stop the
suburban sprawl that is supported by high-energy transportation and mass
consumption. Don’t think that electric cars are going to save the world, they
won’t.
Arcologys are epitomized by gigantic buildings
that will be city scapes unto them self’s. Surrounded by wilderness and
farmland they will use green building techniques that will eliminate waste /
pollution and segregation.
A renewal of the psychological connection with our
biosphere will dominate. These structures may first appear in big cities but
will not work properly until they are no longer supported by expansionism.
Unfortunately there won’t be much support for this
concept until suburbia goes through several catastrophes like environmental
heating, ocean levels rising, running out of fossil fuels.
