Paolo Gets Some Press

Looks like after years of talking, something Paolo designed will get built in Arizona somewhere other than on his own property. I've seen a couple models of this and it should be pretty cool. Maybe now people in Arizona won't look at us like we just grew a second head and say "Soleri who? Arco what?"

Hmmm... from what I can tell from your previous postings, you don't even like Arcosanti.

So what's the deal?

Flawed execution of an idea, even as seriously flawed as Arcosanti, does not negate the idea itself. Paolo is very inventive and imaginative, and I'd like to see him at least be recognized in the community where he has spent nearly all his adult life. And in spite of him having all the personality of a box of rocks, I honestly enjoyed the conversations I had with him. Even when he was pissing me off to no end.
