Soleri’s architectural design studio and nonprofit foundation "Cosanti," was a reaction and criticism of the culture of consumerism he witnessed taking hold in the world. Taking the Italian words "cosa" and "anti," meaning "against things."
In 1970, The Cosanti Foundation began construction of a prototype arcology city (a term coming from the blending of architecture and ecology). This city in the Arizona desert would be named Arcosanti. Built on sustainable architecture, the artisans of this city are famous for their wind chimes and bells.
