Cosanti

Cosanti is the gallery and studio of Italian-American architect Paolo Soleri, serving as his residence until his death in 2013.

Cosanti is marked by terraced landscaping, experimental earth-formed concrete structures, and sculptural wind-bells.

[2] The structures at Cosanti include the original "Earth House",[3] a student dormitory, outdoor studios, performance space, a swimming pool, gift shop, and Soleri's residence.

Many structures are partly underground and surrounded by mounds of earth for insulation, moderating their interior temperatures year-round.

[4] A modified earthcasting technique is also used to craft the bronze and ceramic wind-bells produced at Cosanti and Arcosanti on weekday mornings.
