Soleri's Bells

This photo provides you a glimpse of some of Paolo Soleri's ceramic bells.

You also can see part of his working studio. Look at the architectural style of putting glass in concrete walls to bring in light.

Paolo Soleri is considered the father of arcology, which is the relationship between architecture and ecology. Soleri has an experimental alternative to urban sprawl under construction near Cordes Junction, Arizona.

What a fine shot, Julie. I can almost hear the sound of those bells. I love the circular shapes echoed over and over in this image.

Someone else with a bell theme! I'm wondering if the bells in the photos make a high tinkering sound or a low bonging sound :)

I've visited his Cordes Junction site a few years ago. I need to go again to see how it has progressed.

Looking at his work that you've shown us everything looks peaceful and serene. Lots of curves and flowing lines.
