Cosanti Foundation

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 project dedicated to reducing human impact on the environment while improving quality of life based on 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.
