WEBVTT 00:00:04.230 --> 00:00:06.230 Ok. 00:00:34.048 --> 00:00:42.048 It's not. 00:00:46.250 --> 00:00:52.265 Wait a minute. I get the, your day. What is, what is that? It's a beetle, 00:00:52.298 --> 00:00:58.746 black beagle. He, a friend of yours? No, I tell you for sure. There are no 00:00:58.779 --> 00:01:05.956 friends of mine. Nothing. Not. That's a very, very destructive outfit for 00:01:05.989 --> 00:01:09.467 our garden. I'll tell you. 00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:14.367 Oh, what do you do with them? Kill him? Kill him. I'll kill him. Well, how 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:18.257 about, where's that room in? What about, what about what, what about these 00:01:18.290 --> 00:01:25.197 ? Well, them are very destructive. They are tomato worm and they ruin most 00:01:25.230 --> 00:01:29.546 any. They'll eat holes in tomatoes. They'll eat the vines and tops out of 00:01:29.579 --> 00:01:33.605 the vines if you just leave more than a few minutes. But if you take them 00:01:33.638 --> 00:01:38.967 out and kill them, which is, it makes a good worm out of them. So, then 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.826 they're good for the garden after they're dead, huh? Oh, they're good 00:01:41.859 --> 00:01:47.647 after they're dead. Yes. Uh, you know, uh, what, what you doing today? 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.967 Where are you going with your, uh, squashes? Oh, we're going to Prescott, 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.076 we're going to the fair and, and this is one of our, uh, we think one of 00:01:56.109 --> 00:02:01.906 our winning, uh, spaghetti of course you think this one's gonna win? Yep. 00:02:01.939 --> 00:02:06.447 Yep. Yep. How many years you've been going to the spa? 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.517 10 years? You win something every year, every year that we went. We have 00:02:10.550 --> 00:02:14.396 never come back without a ribbon of some kind. Who's this? You and Joe. No 00:02:14.429 --> 00:02:21.487 , Kip. And I, we started in and then Joe Him and I went two years together 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:26.797 , kid and I went two years together and we've always had big pumpkins and 00:02:26.830 --> 00:02:32.505 these little ones are what we call pipe pumpkins. And we've got some over 00:02:32.538 --> 00:02:37.346 there and, uh, at the Arbor we pretty sure that's gonna be winners, but 00:02:37.379 --> 00:02:42.055 this is a butter butter nut part. And I think I'm not too sure about it, 00:02:42.088 --> 00:02:46.916 but I'm pretty sure we'll get a ribbon on it and this was a very, very 00:02:46.949 --> 00:02:52.275 nice one, but it just didn't shape just right. I think that's a second or 00:02:52.308 --> 00:02:56.547 a third. How that, this will be second place or third place there, be a 00:02:56.580 --> 00:03:00.666 third if we got anything on it. But this one here is likely to get a blue 00:03:00.699 --> 00:03:02.927 or a red. 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:09.487 They, they're really nice and this little, uh, uh, acorn squads here and 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:14.146 the way we judge them now, I lay my beetle down and I hope it don't run 00:03:14.179 --> 00:03:16.457 off. 00:03:16.490 --> 00:03:20.896 Well, we judge them. You see, we, we look at all these ridges and they're 00:03:20.929 --> 00:03:24.876 , if they're all about the same, all the way around, that's what the judge 00:03:24.909 --> 00:03:29.835 looks at see, and then one of them and they, even as a cam, this got a 00:03:29.868 --> 00:03:33.517 little too much of a point on it to be a real good acron. But still it's, 00:03:33.550 --> 00:03:39.686 uh, it's really nice. Hm. Say, I, I wanted to ask you, are there any 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:46.725 spirits in this garden? You know what? Spirits? 00:03:46.758 --> 00:03:49.225 No, 00:03:49.258 --> 00:03:56.686 you don't see anything. Just Joe and, uh, oh, Joe. And that's all that 00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:02.745 worked out here with me. Is that what you mean? Well, I don't know. Do you 00:04:02.778 --> 00:04:08.346 ever see anything or feel anything? You think? Maybe, uh, the ground or 00:04:08.379 --> 00:04:15.225 the plant might be talking back to you? Oh, no, that's a good question. I 00:04:15.258 --> 00:04:20.426 never thought of that. Joe. He's got him some wedding flowers standing 00:04:20.459 --> 00:04:25.296 over there right now. I bet you he's, 00:04:25.329 --> 00:04:27.387 well, 00:04:27.420 --> 00:04:31.137 well, I don't know. Maybe there is a few spirits over in the greenhouse. 00:04:31.170 --> 00:04:34.877 Maybe, maybe there might be, maybe we'll check over there. Ok. And see 00:04:34.910 --> 00:04:37.825 what's over there. I don't know. I never looked in the greenhouse and to 00:04:37.858 --> 00:04:41.817 put the dirt in there and, uh, they're gonna have to put the roof on 00:04:41.850 --> 00:04:45.515 pretty soon or we can't transplant or plant anything in there this fall. 00:04:45.548 --> 00:04:49.336 You see, I think they'll get it done. Do you? Well, they, they said 00:04:49.369 --> 00:04:54.637 they're going to but I just haven't did it yet. That's all. Thanks a lot. 00:04:54.670 --> 00:05:01.906 Is there anything else I can do to help you garden spirits? 00:05:01.939 --> 00:05:05.356 You wanna, you wanna get a picture of them. You wanna get a picture of 00:05:05.389 --> 00:05:07.986 them? Ok. 00:05:08.019 --> 00:05:10.296 No, no, no, 00:05:10.329 --> 00:05:13.336 I 00:05:13.369 --> 00:05:17.495 we're over in the solar greenhouse, right. 00:05:17.528 --> 00:05:21.106 These are, these are your planning beds? Uh Yeah, this is a solar 00:05:21.139 --> 00:05:25.765 greenhouse that's been built on to the side of this earlier structure here. 00:05:25.798 --> 00:05:30.986 So it has a multiple uses as far as greenhouse and heating the building. 00:05:31.019 --> 00:05:35.106 So, like we're getting to experience a little bit of the concept, ah in a 00:05:35.139 --> 00:05:40.447 small way and also have a useful tool for the garden as far as propagating 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.015 the plants and some growing enough winter vegetables for the staff people 00:05:44.048 --> 00:05:47.745 that are here in the winter and a chance to play around with some things, 00:05:47.778 --> 00:05:52.447 you know, get off the conceptual level. This is a pretty passively heated 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:56.325 solar greenhouse, which means you have a fairly large amount of storage, 00:05:56.358 --> 00:06:00.395 heat storage incorporated in which in this case is rock beds, two 00:06:00.428 --> 00:06:05.687 different types. Uh One's a river rock standard and one is our native uh 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:10.325 the salt. There is a t the rock is underneath most of these beds, the 00:06:10.358 --> 00:06:14.236 higher ones, the beds are terraced. So it's going down into the ground. Ah 00:06:14.269 --> 00:06:18.166 , reasoning behind that is so you can get a, enough of a draft, a chance 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:22.676 for a draft out of a chimney. And the terracing also gives you, ah, if 00:06:22.709 --> 00:06:26.736 it's done, right, gives you chances to work at different levels like I can 00:06:26.769 --> 00:06:29.416 work on this bed, 00:06:29.449 --> 00:06:31.976 right. Yeah. And he can work the high part of the plant. Low part, the 00:06:32.009 --> 00:06:36.656 plant is always in process, always cycling through. So has that advantage. 00:06:36.689 --> 00:06:39.926 Uh, that one down there is just like every place else, but that's ok. You 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:45.137 can't win them all. And, uh, well, I think that's a storage area down 00:06:45.170 --> 00:06:49.765 below, but then above it is a, a crop drying unit which takes in its own 00:06:49.798 --> 00:06:53.976 separate dry air from the desert and, ah super heats it on the way. By 00:06:54.009 --> 00:06:59.015 those, those, those skylights, there are all solar panels to collect heat 00:06:59.048 --> 00:07:03.416 and then you can vary by that vent up there, how much heat goes out. So, 00:07:03.449 --> 00:07:07.866 basically what the steady temperature in there is. Yeah, the vents, the 00:07:07.899 --> 00:07:10.467 hole, the hole at the top, they're similar to the ones that run all the 00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:16.096 way across the top here. So you have low intake air, high hot air rising 00:07:16.129 --> 00:07:22.856 and then going out. So you have an air change, air flow through. 00:07:22.889 --> 00:07:27.536 Well, the 100 ducks that are coming for the festal. 00:07:27.569 --> 00:07:31.317 That was a big fantasy, right? The, the imprinted ducks, you get all the 00:07:31.350 --> 00:07:35.825 ducks to lay eggs, right? And then uh kind of just uh then imprint them on 00:07:35.858 --> 00:07:39.817 a little statue Apollo, right? So all these ducks whenever he comes will 00:07:39.850 --> 00:07:44.575 follow them all around. So he has a captive audience. So makes him, 00, 00:07:44.608 --> 00:07:48.236 those ducks. Yeah. Well, they gotta get the air to move around, right. So 00:07:48.269 --> 00:07:52.705 , it's, there's some duct work here that's uh partially installed and 00:07:52.738 --> 00:07:57.226 basically it, it channels air in to heat the rocks and then channels air 00:07:57.259 --> 00:08:00.976 back out. So it takes the heat out to, to heat the building. That's the 00:08:01.009 --> 00:08:04.166 heating function. And the cooling function would be, it would take cold 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:07.026 air. It would, it would run through a cold bed, a bed that hasn't been 00:08:07.059 --> 00:08:10.426 charged up to get some cold air. That's something I don't think that's 00:08:10.459 --> 00:08:15.738 gonna be worked that much in this building as in later greenhouse ideas. 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.040 This is the beginnings of a chimney stack that follows the same angle here. 00:08:21.588 --> 00:08:26.645 The roof, you see this angle is a solar angle. So you get the, the winter 00:08:26.678 --> 00:08:30.836 sun has, if it's set up, right, it won't reflect as much. It'll capture 00:08:30.869 --> 00:08:36.316 most of the winter sun and reflect a lot of the summer sun. So goes back 00:08:36.349 --> 00:08:39.986 down underneath through these uh through these rock storage beds. Again, 00:08:40.019 --> 00:08:45.467 that's why there's two of them, one for each type of storage bed. Uh Yeah. 00:08:45.500 --> 00:08:49.557 Yeah. These ah panels down here are in lead panels for cold air, fresh 00:08:49.590 --> 00:08:57.076 air and then that's the outside going out. Now, let's see what else. Uh 00:08:57.109 --> 00:09:01.307 This the original membrane or the, the first one will be a, a special 00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:04.505 ultraviolet resistant plastic 00:09:04.538 --> 00:09:10.895 uh maybe later on it will be something a little more permanent, but, 00:09:10.928 --> 00:09:13.967 well, it'll, it'll be, 00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:18.515 it'll give us options. There's a few ah yet to be, ah, proven details 00:09:18.548 --> 00:09:22.206 which, which have to be, ah, there's a couple of those, ah, well, I'll try 00:09:22.239 --> 00:09:30.186 it. Maybe it'll work things, ah, you know, the engineers talk about it. 00:09:30.219 --> 00:09:35.946 That was Joe Mathers. Joe's been a gardener here for over four years and 00:09:35.979 --> 00:09:39.856 Ivy Taylor has been our friend and neighbor since the start of the project. 00:09:39.889 --> 00:09:46.246 Ivy's lived in Arizona over 70 years and this year he's giving us, as, in 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:52.986 past year, he gives us a lot of help and supervision down in the garden. 00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:59.167 Now, the south vault was the first building constructed here at Arcosanti. 00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:04.736 The 12 skins which the 12 panels which make the curve were cast on a bed 00:10:04.769 --> 00:10:11.486 of earth, the earth bed being painted with this design. The design is of 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:18.356 young grass. The new shoots representing the growing point of the city to 00:10:18.389 --> 00:10:24.326 be someday. When there's a little more built, this area will be the 00:10:24.359 --> 00:10:30.895 southern portal of Arcosanti, a public space, a mall area where craftsmen 00:10:30.928 --> 00:10:34.236 might display their goods, where people would go about their business, 00:10:34.269 --> 00:10:40.356 where Children would play. Currently, we work here. 00:10:40.389 --> 00:10:45.717 But uh in just a week and a half, this will be a large banquet area for 00:10:45.750 --> 00:10:53.297 our festival. 00:10:53.330 --> 00:11:00.515 This arch is not only the entrance to the city but is also the gateway to 00:11:00.548 --> 00:11:05.547 the native environment. Arcosanti stands for the fusion of synthetic 00:11:05.580 --> 00:11:11.456 information and environmental information. 00:11:11.489 --> 00:11:16.037 We want to create a city which provides you with the best of both the best 00:11:16.070 --> 00:11:21.826 of culture, the best of civilization and the best of what's here on the 00:11:21.859 --> 00:11:28.037 earth for us to grow from and feed from as well. 00:11:28.070 --> 00:11:33.476 The building of a Heliocentric society and a city energized by the sun. 00:11:33.509 --> 00:11:37.525 This quarter spherical structure facing south acts as a sun collector in 00:11:37.558 --> 00:11:42.417 the winter months. When the sun is very low in the sky and a sun shade in 00:11:42.450 --> 00:11:49.346 the summer months, this abs effect heating and cooling effect creates a 10 00:11:49.379 --> 00:11:57.379 to 30 degrees temperature differential from season to season. 00:11:57.700 --> 00:12:03.826 The repetition of curves and ellipses is a pattern derived from our solar 00:12:03.859 --> 00:12:11.726 system. In fact, the entire cosm gray of the universe is a repetition of 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:15.755 curves and ellipses. 00:12:15.788 --> 00:12:21.287 And the shell of the apps was cast over a mound of sculpted earth, the wet 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:27.927 concrete flowing over the gullies and patterned surface giving us these 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:34.086 colors, these textures which you see the apps focuses on the function of 00:12:34.119 --> 00:12:40.167 the building, it focuses on one's work. 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:46.287 And at the same time, it focuses on the native environment. 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:52.436 It creates quite a pleasant place to work and play. 00:12:52.469 --> 00:12:58.119 My pottery studio is in the back of the apps and I play here all the time. 00:13:16.359 --> 00:13:18.359 Let's see. Where was I? Oh Yeah. Circles and cubes. Uh spheres and cubes 00:13:24.820 --> 00:13:30.797 are another recurring design feature throughout our Cas Santi. And the 00:13:30.830 --> 00:13:36.866 significance is that a perfect cube and a perfect sphere really don't 00:13:36.899 --> 00:13:42.755 exist in nature. Salt crystals are somewhat cubical planets, stars are 00:13:42.788 --> 00:13:46.746 somewhat spherical but a perfect cube and a perfect sphere is something 00:13:46.779 --> 00:13:52.316 which the humankind brought into existence. And uh this is part of the 00:13:52.349 --> 00:14:00.349 significance of the designs in this building. 00:14:04.250 --> 00:14:08.316 This is the crafts three building. The bottom floor is residential and 00:14:08.349 --> 00:14:15.667 office office space. The two story level is an exhibition area and gallery 00:14:15.700 --> 00:14:20.005 and the top floor is also for gallery space as well as uh some conference 00:14:20.038 --> 00:14:28.038 rooms. On the third floor on the balcony is where our little cafe is. 00:14:28.219 --> 00:14:32.206 The interior of the crafts. Three building has three important focuses. 00:14:32.239 --> 00:14:36.927 The first is through the skylight to the heavens, to the cosmos. The 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:44.775 second is to the natural landscape once again. 00:14:44.808 --> 00:14:52.639 And the third important focus is to the new city, a new urban alternative. 00:14:54.428 --> 00:14:56.428 It's a lot like other cities, there's trees, there's parks, there's people 00:14:57.899 --> 00:15:02.366 , there's no automobiles. This place will be a lot cleaner, a lot safer 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:06.606 for your kids. A lot healthier and you'll get around the places much 00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:12.505 quicker. This building also has the ability to open these glass doors on 00:15:12.538 --> 00:15:17.797 two sides, making this interior space very much like the outdoors. I'll 00:15:17.830 --> 00:15:25.830 show you how they open too. You're gonna like this, 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:35.519 the king of the city, 00:15:53.058 --> 00:15:57.025 all the dwellings in the future archology will have this option of being 00:15:57.058 --> 00:16:01.936 able to open themselves to the outdoors. Now, this is a double function, 00:16:01.969 --> 00:16:06.696 not only can you allow pleasant weather in and calm breezes. In the winter 00:16:06.729 --> 00:16:11.566 months, you can utilize this greenhouse heating effect, closing both glass 00:16:11.599 --> 00:16:17.586 doors, warming the space in the front of your house. Now, the roof, the 00:16:17.619 --> 00:16:21.797 entrance way of this building was also cast on a earth pile. That's why 00:16:21.830 --> 00:16:26.596 it's curved up tops. You've noticed the colors, the silk cast textures all 00:16:26.629 --> 00:16:31.736 in all this building is a rather aesthetic statement in concrete and 00:16:31.769 --> 00:16:38.145 building materials. We believe that life is an aesthetic process and, and 00:16:38.178 --> 00:16:42.336 this is very important to us and this is why every year we have a Fall 00:16:42.369 --> 00:16:46.927 festival a time when we invite artists, craftsmen and performers to Ar 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:54.960 Kante. And of course, everybody in the country, 00:16:55.580 --> 00:17:01.875 a part of our intent is to create a healthy city, a healthy urban 00:17:01.908 --> 00:17:06.054 environment. Cities can be wonderful places. 00:17:06.087 --> 00:17:10.376 I wonder if you at Findhorn are anticipating your next step after you 00:17:10.409 --> 00:17:13.117 become a village. 00:17:13.150 --> 00:17:21.150 Would you consider an urban system something like this? 00:17:21.568 --> 00:17:28.186 Every year in the fall, we have a celebration, a festival in which we 00:17:28.219 --> 00:17:33.196 invite everyone in the country, everyone in the world. In fact, last year 00:17:33.229 --> 00:17:38.776 was our first major festival. Uh And the theme of last year's festival was 00:17:38.809 --> 00:17:44.446 health and healing. This year, our theme is art and the environment. Part 00:17:44.479 --> 00:17:47.676 of the intent of the festival is to help generate interest in our cos 00:17:47.709 --> 00:17:53.486 Santi to help us assemble a critical mass of creative people here to build 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:58.717 a well rounded, healthy community. 00:17:58.750 --> 00:18:03.117 This is our friend Andrews Holmquist Anders has participated in the last 00:18:03.150 --> 00:18:07.506 three festivals. And, uh 00:18:07.539 --> 00:18:11.967 what brings you to a Kani Andrews in the, uh, at first it brought me 00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:18.085 because the curiosity about a much written about place that I, I agreed 00:18:18.118 --> 00:18:26.118 with another principle as Apollo. So it was um an experiment and, um, out 00:18:26.529 --> 00:18:31.656 here there's such a freedom of flags, the wind, the sun, that's all you 00:18:31.689 --> 00:18:35.526 need. It's like taking the flakes on a vacation, you know, in a beautiful 00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:43.559 spot. I think they want to see the flag. 00:18:56.930 --> 00:19:04.930 Ah, the winds changed for us. 00:19:05.130 --> 00:19:10.676 I was always fascinated about the so called swallow tails on flags. And of 00:19:10.709 --> 00:19:14.795 course they are, uh, like imitations of birds. It's, the name says it. So 00:19:14.828 --> 00:19:21.196 , here I'm doing a, a, um, a wing proper out of feathers and, uh, I tend 00:19:21.229 --> 00:19:25.805 to have quite a few of those different colors for the festival. Different 00:19:25.838 --> 00:19:30.176 wings. The wing is close to a, to a flag. I feel it out, out in the wind, 00:19:30.209 --> 00:19:36.246 moving, sailing, having fun. How many, uh, wings? How many sailors do you 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:41.976 ? 10 to fly this year? How many flags all in all? There'll be, uh, nearly 00:19:42.009 --> 00:19:50.009 50 flags. We have 50 polls and that should be you fill me. Mhm. 00:19:51.380 --> 00:19:53.996 Ok. 00:19:54.029 --> 00:19:59.315 Have you any future plans with Arcosanti? Well, as I spoke with you last 00:19:59.348 --> 00:20:03.936 year and I've spoken to Carlo about, uh, being a resident here and, uh, 00:20:03.969 --> 00:20:10.156 work on flags and develop my idea about flags is definitely one of my 00:20:10.189 --> 00:20:14.815 future projects. Ok. 00:20:14.848 --> 00:20:19.347 We'll see in a couple of years, like Paula said, when you've been here in 00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:25.526 California, three years on the coast, come and see me again. He said like 00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:30.196 three years, he gives me three years and I'd be too bored 00:20:30.229 --> 00:20:33.926 and then we might be uh flag capital of the western hemisphere. That's 00:20:33.959 --> 00:20:40.946 right. That'd be wonderful. Ok. Thank you. Thank you. Let's uh down in the 00:20:40.979 --> 00:20:45.147 valley, we are constructing 00:20:45.180 --> 00:20:51.756 uh our main performance area for the larger, larger performances of jazz 00:20:51.789 --> 00:20:56.305 and dance. Uh We should go down there. That's where all our construction 00:20:56.338 --> 00:21:00.815 energy is going these four weeks in preparation of the festival. Uh 00:21:00.848 --> 00:21:06.006 Currently, that crew is uh been tagged the mule team because they've been 00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:10.097 moving a lot of rocks, a lot of heavy equipment and a lot of earth. So 00:21:10.130 --> 00:21:15.526 we'll go down there and talk to some of the mules. 123, go. Yes. Here, 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.717 here we are. 00:21:19.750 --> 00:21:27.347 This is the most exciting moment. Ladies and gentlemen, 00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:33.476 to the right 00:21:33.509 --> 00:21:36.906 to, to, I'm gonna go, 00:21:36.939 --> 00:21:40.795 oh, it's the Italian and English woman up top are having trouble lifting 00:21:40.828 --> 00:21:43.795 the log over the, over the bleachers. Oh, I think they've got it. Now, the 00:21:43.828 --> 00:21:46.486 Americans from behind are obviously pushing too hard. They can only get 00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:52.815 together, work with the team. I think they're almost to the top. I 00:21:52.848 --> 00:21:56.276 oh, 00:21:56.309 --> 00:22:03.637 go, go, go. Yes, safety first. Always, always, 00:22:03.670 --> 00:22:11.055 this is a monster. Ah, ok. They've almost done it. This could be a record 00:22:11.088 --> 00:22:16.996 time. Ladies and gentlemen, 00:22:17.029 --> 00:22:22.717 the log is almost in place. They've done it. They've done it. Well, can we 00:22:22.750 --> 00:22:29.637 get a word with some of some of you? Can we get a word with you?

Noah later. Come back right here. We'll be 00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.867 back later. 00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:51.156 Yeah. So can you tell me something about this log, please? Yeah, this log 00:22:51.189 --> 00:22:56.387 weighed 200/200 pounds. It was very heavy. It requires six people as you 00:22:56.420 --> 00:23:00.085 could see to, to carry it. How long have you been working on this stage 00:23:00.118 --> 00:23:08.118 area? Oh, about a week, a week. Well, love sure was a lot of work. Thank 00:23:11.459 --> 00:23:18.035 you very much. Thank you very much. Are you sorry? Uh The scaffolding will 00:23:18.068 --> 00:23:21.967 support the main stage. 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:25.496 You'll see all this uh in the next video letter, there'll be a stage down 00:23:25.529 --> 00:23:28.575 here, dance 00:23:28.608 --> 00:23:35.147 concert piano, some jazz. 00:23:35.180 --> 00:23:40.726 Here we are in a construction area. This is the excavation for the East 00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:46.016 Crescent, a building which we've currently started and this is where we're 00:23:46.049 --> 00:23:50.226 setting up booths for the craftsman who will be participating in our 00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:56.446 festival. The booths are ar are arranged in about the same configuration 00:23:56.479 --> 00:24:02.186 that the building. East Crescent itself will be arranged in and right over 00:24:02.219 --> 00:24:09.746 here we have a builder. Could you do that again, please? 00:24:09.779 --> 00:24:14.256 Uh How does it feel to be off the old grind of construction and working 00:24:14.289 --> 00:24:16.996 for something enjoyable? Like the festival? I don't know. It still seems 00:24:17.029 --> 00:24:21.075 like I'm working construction. Are you sure? But this is for the festival. 00:24:21.108 --> 00:24:25.736 Well, yeah, it's, uh, it's a little different but not a whole lot. These 00:24:25.769 --> 00:24:30.315 are the, uh, same forms which we use for, uh, pouring concrete and we're 00:24:30.348 --> 00:24:36.406 uh doubling them this year as a to serve as booths for the craftsman. So 00:24:36.439 --> 00:24:38.526 we're still working with the same forms that I've been working with for 00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:42.746 the last couple of months I see. Slightly different. Yes. And just uh just 00:24:42.779 --> 00:24:47.776 a month ago, they were down over here. 00:24:47.809 --> 00:24:55.809 Uh Let's go take a look. 00:24:59.328 --> 00:25:04.315 OK. Don't go over the edge Cheryl. So this is the beginning of a new, a 00:25:04.348 --> 00:25:09.397 new structure at Arcosanti. This building will house a drafting room and 00:25:09.430 --> 00:25:12.476 uh this is half the building right now and it's only the basement level. 00:25:12.509 --> 00:25:16.967 It will come up three stories and it will be the celery residence and the 00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:21.026 drawing studios for Apollo and the whole crew of architects which work 00:25:21.059 --> 00:25:26.956 with him down at Cos Santi. 00:25:26.989 --> 00:25:30.666 We're in front of the lab building. Now, we're going to go inside and see 00:25:30.699 --> 00:25:35.045 what else is going on in preparation for the festival. First, we're going 00:25:35.078 --> 00:25:43.078 to go into Randy's printing studio. 00:25:48.199 --> 00:25:54.226 You're not gonna believe this. 00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:59.656 Uh 00:25:59.689 --> 00:26:02.607 Hi 00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:07.045 am I?

What else have you printed? Royal Festival? We did some 00:27:05.078 --> 00:27:10.967 banners last year and, uh, they'll probably be used again this year. 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:19.000 Banners, banners how large feet by 4 ft, something like that and 00:27:19.439 --> 00:27:23.637 they're all.

Ok. Here's another one. 00:27:41.779 --> 00:27:49.575 Yeah. Right. Three color half tone pretty spacey 00:27:49.608 --> 00:27:53.117 and I'll probably sell a million of them. Yeah, I hope so. But it's good 00:27:53.150 --> 00:27:56.967 street media. We're trying to sell them before the festival in hopes that 00:27:57.000 --> 00:28:03.647 people will see them on the street and come to the festival. 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:06.147 Well, thanks a lot. Is there anything else you want to show us in here? Uh 00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:10.647 , not really. Uh My process is a patented process and I don't want to give 00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:16.117 it away so secrets, secrets. The t-shirt business is, you know, a real, 00:28:16.150 --> 00:28:21.666 real kill or be killed. Well, good luck. I hope you survive the festival. 00:28:21.699 --> 00:28:24.897 Thanks a lot. 00:28:24.930 --> 00:28:30.986 We're in the vault area again.
