I don't understand your "archology" example. Except that it is from Windows.

Arcology, a portmanteau of "architecture" and "ecology", is a field of creating architectural design principles for very densely populated and ecologically low-impact human habitats.. The term was coined in 1969 by architect Paolo Soleri, who believed that a completed arcology would provide space for a variety of residential, commercial, and agricultural facilities while minimizing individual ...

Paulo Soleri proposed Arcologies in Space.

Arcology also includes a series of proposed designs, ranging from ideas perhaps only a few years away from realization to ones straight out of science fiction – Stonebow, built into a cliff face to house 200,000 people; Hexahedron, home for 170,000 in any environment; Novanoah II, a floating city for 2.4 million; Asteromo, housing 70,000 people in space; and many more. Soleri continued to design arcologies for the rest of his life.

.... Today, the Cosanti Foundation defines arcology with six key traits:

• Urban scale as human scale: Efficient and free movement of pedestrians, encouraged by compacting the 50 percent of urban space currently dedicated to automobile traffic.
• Bounded density: Urban growth boundaries, like those of Garden Cities, as much for the health and density of the city as for the protection of the land around it.
• Marginalized consumption: Using technology, such as passive climate control and innovative water treatment systems, to maximize efficiency throughout the city.
• Elegant frugality: “Do more with less” by effectively using local, clean, and simple materials and resources.
• Food & energy nexus: Reestablishing the connection between urbanites and their food supplies by both returning the land directly outside the city to agriculture and developing urban agriculture. The same applies to locally produced renewable energy.
• Urban effect: Accelerating the inherent benefits of cities, including the ability to develop diversity, knowledge, efficiency, and community, by greatly increasing density and further mixing different uses – the same ideas expressed by Jane Jacobs in 1961, but taken to a radical conclusion
