'''Cosanti''' is the gallery and studio of Italian-American architect [[Paolo Soleri]]; it was his residence until his death in 2013. Located in [[Paradise Valley, Arizona]], USA, it is open to the public. Cosanti is marked by terraced landscaping, experimental earth-formed concrete structures, and its sculptural wind-bells.
Soleri is best known for [[Arcosanti]], the prototype for an [[arcology|arcological]] "urban laboratory" begun in 1970 in the high desert about seventy miles north of [[Phoenix, Arizona]]
Paolo Soleri invented the words ''Cosanti'', ''[[Arcosanti]]'' and ''[[arcology]]''. He coined ''arcology'' by combining the words ''architecture'' and ''ecology''. ''Cosanti'' fuses two Italian words, ''cosa'' (meaning "things", "property", "matter", "business") and ''anti'' ("against"). ''Arcosanti'' combines ''arcology'' with ''Cosanti''.
