Summary:

"Architect, philosopher, craftsman, and pioneer of ecologically sound design, Paolo Soleri is a pivotal figure in twentieth-century architecture. Born in Turin in 1919, Soleri first came to the United States to work with Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1940s, but he soon broke from the master and began developing his own plans for a city of the future, based on the concept of "arcology" (architecture sympathetic to ecology)." "This comprehensive monograph, the first on Soleri to be published in the United States, documents his entire career, from his early work with Frank Lloyd Wright to his seminal ceramics factory (built in Vietri sul Mare, Italy), to his later design for arcologies. Complementing the drawings, sketches, and photographs is an authoritative text by Antoinetta Iolanda Lima, who traces the fascinating evolution of this unique architect throughout his long career."--Jacket.
