Cosanti Foundation – Paolo Soleri Windbells

An Arizona Historic Site, the Cosanti Foundation is a unique complex of desert-appropriate, experimental, concrete structures designed and constructed by Paolo Soleri, world recognized architect and originator of the “arcology” concept with the help of students from around the world.

Arcosanti, a prototype arcology, is the main project of the Cosanti Foundation headquartered here. Visitors may browse the studios where the Soleri Bronze and Ceramic Windbells are made and sold. Written works by and about Soleri, lithographs and original drawings are also available at the Cosanti Gallery. Visitors are welcome at the weekly “School of Thought” discussion with Soleri Tuesdays at 3pm.
