We are starting a series of weekend events under the rubric: Arcosanti / School of Thought. This was a feature of Arcosanti life when Paolo Soleri was alive, along with Minds Conferences, Festivals of Minds, and seminars with guest speakers in a range of formats.
These will be modest to start with, starting with a Saturday (Feb 8) afternoon (2:00 – 5:00 MST) on Arcology + AI, in person in the Red Room at Arcosanti and via zoom, moderated by David Turnbull, the Executive Director of the Cosanti Foundation. Speakers at this early February event will include Arcosanti alumni, Langdon Morris, currently working on AI mobilisation in Indonesia, author, with Farah Naz: ‘Net Zero City’ (2021), and Matteo di Michele, author ‘Intelligenza artificiale: Etica, rischi e opportunità di una tecnologia rivoluzionaria’ (2023), with Beau Dromiack, ASU, author: ‘Super-Architect: The Future of Architecture’ (2025), Alessandro Melis, NYIT, author: ‘ZombieCity: Strategie urbane di sopravvivenza agli zombie e alla crisi climatica’ (2020), and Surjan, Super School, Chicago: https://www.surjansuperschool.com/
Future events will include a year-long series on The Psychedelic Imagination & Ecological Consciousness, drawing on the experience of Arcosanti Alumni from the 1970s, and friends, looking into the future.
