:what-the-hell: Self-contained biodome experiments, on Earth have been consistent failures. Especially with the environmental and resources crises of the present and forseeable future, repeating the same failures in space, where it's even harder to resupply and to correct errors, all for some "LE SCIENCE VICTORY" futuristic Manifest Destiny delusions, is pure bazinga brain. I'm glad you edited your message before I finished editing my reply in a more longhand form.
It’s about building a structure specifically for humans thats capable of supporting itself.
That's great. I was talking about the specific projects that, so far, have come up short, and worse, the techbro-driven desire to take the ideas that came up short and to outright launch them into space with no viable reason except their own escapist power fantasies.
Viable arcologies would definitely have to be developed on Earth first way, way, way before anything viable could happen on Mars. :billionaire-tears:
If your goal is to have a city intertwined with nature then you aren’t going to build an arcology.
You're not making arcologies sound very appealing so far. Also, so far, contemporary pretenses of the idea that I have seen and heard of, accurate to your exact definitions or not, have been techbro status-aesthetic blights.

I 100% blame Pauly Shore for this.
I just don't get the "arc" part of it
we've already had established human ecologies lasting tens of thousands of years. Many with earthen architecture (mound builders, etc)
At what point do you draw the line between "ecology" and "arcology"? It seems kinda pointless
