Professional photographer from Japan, Yozo Takada is visiting points of interest in the United states for one year. His first stop was Tucson, where he worked at UA University of Arizona and explored places like Biosphere 2 in Oracle, close to Tucson.
Jozo joined the March 2009 workshop for four weeks and spent two of those weeks in the Soleri Archives.

During that time he photographed some of the more difficult material, like a whole series of aluminum foil patterns, that Paolo Soleri engraved around 1956. Paolo Soleri used the patterns to print on very fine tissue paper and Jozo photographed almost all of this very fragile material.
The archives crew thanks Jozo for all of his work and for teaching us some subtle intricacies of photography set-up.

During his time at Arcosanti, Jozo took a lot of photos all over the site and especially of interiors of many of the residences. He has returned to Tucson and gave a slideshow of his Arcosanti photos at the University.
