/r/Arcology
Arcology, a portmanteau of architecture and ecology, is a vision of architectural design principles for very densely populated habitats. The term was coined by architect Paolo Soleri and since then the concept has been popularized in architectural circles, the media and science fiction.
This subreddit serves to further popularize the idea of arcology by providing a community that shares and discusses arcology-related images, news, architecture competitions, designs, and literature.
