Built between 1970 and 1980 the design explores the concept of arcology, combining architecture and ecology. Existing structures at Arcosanti are meant to begin to provide for the complete needs of a community. They include: a five-story visitors' center, a bronze-casting apse, a ceramics apse, two large barrel vaults, a ring of apartment residences and quasi-public spaces around an outdoor amphitheater, a community swimming pool, an office complex, above which is an apartment that was originally Soleri's suite. A two-bedroom Sky Suite occupies the highest point in the complex. Most of the buildings have accessible roofs.
