Welcome

Before my long career as a Chef I was an Architectural technologist for seven years of my life. Uncle Pratt was an Architect ; he sparked my interest, since initially my goal was to get out of the restaurant business my parents started. My uncle had some cool future architectural concepts for cities, grabbing my close attention.

So I went to Cariboo College for two years ( now Thompson Rivers University) in Kamloops BC. and pursued seven years in the architecture and planning adventure through UMA ( Underwood McLellan Engineering Firm). During my schooling , our class had to draw detailed plans for how we should approach a future city without harming the environment and reducing our carbon print. The Project name : Future For Our Children Not Us.

As a group we had to agree what materials were sustainable and harmless to our planet. It was a huge project and took a year of planning while pursuing our architectural technical courses including mathematics along with small introductory survey course, on how to close a traverse. This was way before CAD ( Computer Aid Drafting) too ; every mathematical equation was manually calculated.

There are many directions of planning a future city, so we had to break up our class into groups. Each group had a particular task to complete:

• Energy efficiency — now known as Climate Emission Control
• Disruptive Technologies — design using materials and new technology that is less disruptive to our environment
• Building a City without roads or bridges— hence, you need to design an efficient flying vehicle w/ anti-gravity propulsion. It’s purpose is interlinked with Transportation needs.
• Infrastructure Design Manual — infrastructure of any city can make or break a city.
• Human Transportation without harming our ecosystem
• Climate Control without effecting the Earth’s atmosphere
• Building a City that you can’t see from the sky — building within the geography of the land where you live. At the same time, refraining from a human footprint.
• Human Data and Behaviour— building with human welfare and encouraging a better ecosystem. We must also control homelessness by becoming sustainable and compassionate , encouraging a useful society for the human race.
• Encourage Extraterrestrial Architectures — not only do we plan a city nonabrasive to our environment we must look forward to expanding the human race onto new hostile environments, such as Mars. This may sound crazy, but NASA was planning for Mars way back in the fifties. As a human species we all have a responsibility not to overpopulate our Earth.
• Future is For Our Children Not Us — our overall goal is to make our footprint on Earth and wherever else the human races settles , so our children will be able to enjoy it and their children and so on.

As you can see, there’s more to think about when you decide to build a new city. Does our cities thrive within the clouds or nonabrasive structures unseen from the sky ? The future city is still attainable if we can settle our differences as a human race. Maybe then ; only then, will we be welcomed into the intergalactic universe, other extraterrestrial societies are waiting for. Until we grow into a better human species, we will always be by ourselves.

You see — there’s more to me. My career sustained and fed my family as a Chef, but my other interests are many…

Cheers !
