Things you can do at Arcosanti that you probably can't do anywhere else.

1. Have three languages spoken at one table, when the table consists of no more than 9 people.
2. Take a job where your commute is a 2.5 minute walk across desert canyon through unpolluted air, with not a car in sight.
3. Have a breakfast of a bagel and hardboiled egg while watching molten bronze being poured not ten feet in front of you.
4. See and talk with a 90-year old polymath who should be, by modern civilization's standards of activity, 15 years younger than he actually is.
5. Meet people from countries you never even thought vaguely of vacationing to—and they change every month.
6. Meet world-class circus performers, artists, and musicians who are as like-minded and creative as you.
7. Get inducted into people's family who you otherwise would never have come into contact with.
8. Pet and fall in love with a tarantula.
9. Understand in a tactile way what the human organism needs and produces in order to function: food, water, sewage, shelter, raw materials, hygiene, and cleanliness of habitat.
10. See sunsets across Precambrian-era mountains every night.
11. See lightning storms unlike anything else, unless you've lived in the tropics.
12. Feel like a soda is a unique, and unhealthy, luxury.
13. Live in the desert without air conditioning, and use the materials of the buildings you live in to help cool yourself down while expending no energy (except some of your own sweat).
14. Plan a dance and music festival synchronized with 360 others across the world, and have its locations be one of the most unique architectural experiments in the world.
15. Go to work in flipflops and a tanktop, because that's what your office's equivalent of a CEO did for nearly his entire life.
