In the 1990s, Jeremy Irons purchased Kilcoe castle - an abandoned XV century coastal tower in southeast Ireland. It was the last castle captured by the British in the XVII century.

At the time of purchase, there was nothing but ruins. After many years of relentless restoration, Irons turned Kilcoe into one of the few Irish castles that serve as permanent residence these days. Irons lives there with his family.

#Arcosanti is an experimental #architecture project by #PaoloSoleri in central Arizona. It is based on the principles of #archology - a mix of large-scale architecture and ecology.

Arcosanti was an attempt to demonstrate how we can minimize people's destruction of the natural environment while establishing an urban city. Currently, it includes 13 buildings.

However, the city is still incomplete. Originally planned for 5000 citizens, now it only accommordates between 50 and 150 people.
