Why are You Here?

WELCOME

If you are visiting this blog you may share similar interests regarding our communities, our health, our children's education, creativity and the evolution of facilities designed and the planned for the benefit of people. I am concerned as you are that many of our public facilities don't add value to our communities. It seems that schools have become static vessels that don't engage students and spark optimism and curiosity among citizens. We believe communities should embrace healthy lifestyles, walkability, sustainability and managed growth. If you have thoughts and ideas concerning community design and their role in facilitating learning, living, recreation, worship and work we are interested in what you have to say.

VISION

We seek to make a positive difference by bring together the best of what industry and education have to offer to create flexible, engaging, dynamic and connected learning and living environments that become a positive part of the living, teaching and learning process.  Ultimately improving our community by design.
