Title: Arcology
Post by: Raichor on February 12, 2012, 06:57:31 pm: When my ban has finished. i was wondering if anyone would like to help me build a HUGE arcology building. what does arcology mean? a concept in which the ideal city is a massive vertical structure, which preserves more of the natural environment, a concept combining architecture and ecology as envisioned by Paolo Soleri
I will need people to donate quite a lot of rescources and to help build.
here are some examples of arcology

As you can see these aren't just buildings but whole citys.

I probably won't have time now but maybe after I finish my stuff and I'm available I can help out. I would love to see something like this get completed!
