Description: Live and work in an alternative sustainable living experiment: 
Arcosanti. Based on the designs and theories of Italian architect Paolo 
Soleri, Arcosanti is a prototype ARCOLOGY - the fusion of architecture and 
ecology.

Since 1970 the Arcosanti Workshops have combined academic and experiential 
learning as participants study Paolo Soleri's concepts and designs while 
contributing to the building of the Arcology (architecture+ecology). Soleri 
proposes a lean urban alternative which is a highly integrated and compact 
three-dimensional form rejecting the need for urban sprawl with its 
inherently wasteful consumption of land, energy, time and human resources.

3 month internships are available in the following departments:
Archives, Agriculture, Construction, Graphics, Facilities/ Maintenance, 
Landscaping, and Planning/ Drafting

See www.arcosanti.org for more information on our educational programs. 
Housing is included. Internship DATES are FLEXIBLE.
