It was all about the excuses. Back in architecture school I had a classmate who would state every time anyone criticized her projects, like the spaces or forms she created, that they just didn't understand. Environmentalism as a cover for bad design. Or as my grandmother always said, "You've been a very Bad Design, back to your room right this instant."

It's barren and has a lot of unpainted concrete buldings that look modern. It does have great Solari bells that they cast in their bronze foundry. The gift shop and lunch restaurant aren't bad either. Aiyana I occasionally stop at Arcosanti when going to places north, and there is nothing about the place that’s appealing to me.
