What is arcology?
arcology are large, self -sufficient cities with an extremely high density of the human population. They are usually presented as high structures that use heights to minimize the trace of humanity on the environment. Arcology often occurs in sci -fi and peas.
No real arcology has been built yet, although in Arizona there is an experimental city that attempts an arcological model. Real arcology would contain a complete internal ecosystem or even worked if it was sealed airtight. For this reason, arcology was designed as a paradigm for the colonization of other planets.
The term was invented in the 50s of the Italian-American architect Paolo Solleri, who mixed the words architecture and ecology . The concept of arcology should minimize the necessary structure for the high density of the human population by ensuring that everyone has direct access to them. Arcology is also meant as an alternative to slums where the population of the populationIt prevails over the intended load capacity of civil infrastructure. The first arcology described in the fiction was probably the "last doubt" by the Night Land by William Hope Hodgson, first released in 1912. In modern times, the arcology was listed as a futuristic building in the popular computer game Simcity 2000, and Blade Runner.
arcology must carefully balance human housing and the needs of resources with the natural needs of artificial ecology, all enclosed in safe infrastructure. Ecology must be well balanced without any species disappearing or reproducing out of control. Human waste must not cause deterioration of ecology. Because it is not easy to achieve this gentle balance and has not yet been done, the design of arcology needs to enter from civilian planners, biologists, architects, natural scientists, the public and more.
arcology could be considered a social experiment. BikeEctual social resources, such as libraries and hospitals, could use the population more thoroughly. Private transport would be sacrificed in favor of public transport systems. Arcology was designed by a number of architects in different countries, but none of these designs has been implemented. The Japanese government announced several long-term projects involving the possible construction of arcology, including plans for 300-storey arcology called X-Seed 3000.
