Have you heard of Paolo Soleri? He was born in Italy in 1919 and studied architecture under Frank Llyod Wright. He now resides in Scottsdale, Arizona, casting the most beautiful bronze bells. These bronze and some ceramic bells are huge works of art, displaying his central theme of "arcology" or architecture combined with ecology. We were lucky enough to find his workshop and see the casting of several bronze bells.
Here are pictures from Soleri's home/workshop from B's lens:
LOVE these photos, Brian!! Holy smokes that fifth shot makes me feel the heat of furnaces firing bronze bells!! Or maybe its just the Scottsdale heat!!
