WHAT DOES ARCOLOGY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

arcology

Arcology

Arcology, a portmanteau of "architecture" and "ecology", is a vision of architectural design principles for very densely populated habitats. The concept has been primarily popularized, and the term itself coined, by architect Paolo Soleri, and appears commonly in science fiction. These structures have been largely hypothetical insofar as no 'arcology' envisioned by Soleri himself has yet been completed, but his thesis was that a completed arcology would contain a variety of residential, commercial, and agricultural facilities; its purpose is to minimize individual human environmental impact. Arcologies are often portrayed in sci-fi as self-contained or economically self-sufficient.
