4.0 out of 5 stars
A powerful man, a decent overview of a book, March 26, 2007
This review is from: The Urban Ideal: Conversations with Paolo Soleri (Paperback)
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.
