90th Alumni Packet

On June 21st, Arcosanti, an experimental sustainable city in the Arizona desert, held a celebration for the 90th birthday of its radical architect and founder, Paolo Soleri. An apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, Paolo Soleri's radical architectural theories and philosophy of urban planning had garnered worldwide respect and interest. For this occasion, which was as much a celebration of the Arcosanti project as its founder, I was brought on to design a number of promotional materials. The alumni packet was a folded packet designed to hold various maps, fliers, postcards, and notes by the hundreds of Arcosanti familiars and workshop alumni. Durable enough to last the time of the celebration and reunion (and also featuring the new Arcosanti logo), many alumni took the packet home as a souvenir of the event.
