Hi Simran,

Actually about a year ago in a fit of inspiration I put together ideas and requirements for

A Building of Light ... which leads to the City of Light. The building is basically a clear building all the way through. With tinting and adjustable light frequency reflectivity and absorption. It uses Light Pipe, human aware LED lighting, has negative ion production and green walls in the advanced design. It uses silver coated duct work and door knobs and toilets.

I sent it to an Urban Architect friend of mine who called me right back and said fantastic, even more so because his thesis had been along the lines of spirituality and light in Architecture.

I just sent him the contest info you posted, who knows maybe something will submit something.

For those interested it integrates everything from silver doorknobs which stop the spread of bacteria to the Divine Architectural Number The Golden Ratio ~ Phi.

Anyway it is being integrated into Infinite Play The Movie and you can read about the design of the building here as I originally wrote it. The advanced design is Top Secret :)

We actually thought to build it along the Hudson River in a dark area that needed light such that it can be seen for miles.

The building is designed to be a part of a large organism that plays host to the smaller organisms that occupy it. It uses only 10% of the energy of a normal building. It heals the people inside of it.

There is one other item them I do not mention it involves a quantum oddity regarding the behavior of energy and that in my design it concentrates certain frequencies of energy (photons at particular energy states).

It also features PiezoElectrics and quartz infrastructure and may produce energy due to the contraction and expansion.

In the Movie it hosts the first Department of Peace and Wise Council of the Light Minded.

If anyone is curious they can email me mr.richardthomas@gmail.com

it is coming to manifest on Earth

Hi Simran,

Check this out. Vedic architecture in the U.S. of A!! The building's rather ugly but the concept is great.

Hi Simran,
I find it so exciting to hear intelligent people designing living spaces that are good for our health, and good for our dear Mother Earth.
Let's keep this ball rolling and we will bypass all of the stodgy politicians who seem to be blind to what is really going on in people's lives.

Simran,

I do not wish to cause you any undue embarrassment, bruised ego or hard feelings, my friend, but please endure my brutal candor on this occasion: This is absolutely one of the most bizarre postings I have read anywhere on Earth in recent memory.

P.S. Perhaps you should swiftly liberate your tongue out of cheek in its current perma-frozen configeration.

Good night!

Hi Simran: I am missing the part about why Ron thinks this post is bizarre???

Your theme about NYC integrating environmentally sound "green construction" innovations, especially with the "well-heeled" leading the way by making such innovations into a fad for the rest to follow suit with--is completely appropriate!

Why rebuild New Orleans without such innovative thinking, and/or, any other communities that recognize the need to embrace replacing the teetering frames of yesteryear with such applications as you bring up.

NYC is built upon a superstructure that is a nightmare of underground hazards from being soooo....worn out and outdated--let alone the earthquake vulnerabilities that no one wants to talk about.

As always--love the "information" you are a voice for, and wondering if Ron might elaborate. Dave

You guys are the 67074 best, thanks so much for the help.
