In 1956, Paolo Soleri and his
late wife, Colly, incorporated the Cosanti Foundation, a
not-for-profit
educational organization devoted to the support of Soleri's
noted architectural and urban planning research. Today,
the
primary areas of the Foundation's work are:
- Educating students,
design professionals, urban planners and the general public
about Soleri's architectural concepts and philosophy.
- Ensuring the continuing construction of Arcosanti, a habitat for 5,000 people designed according
to the Arcology concept.
This has been the main ongoing project of the Cosanti Foundation
since 1970.
- Hosting educational and cultural conferences as well as
performing arts events, on a regular basis.
