Master’s Academy Projects

The following URLs are a series of my Notebook entries, drawings, descriptions and web articles that I have written spanning the period when Tom Rudmik and I first met, started working together in 2003, and continuing through the construction of the Collaboration Studio, the first School of the Future ValueWeb DesignShop® event that further developed the concepts contained in these pages, to the Schematic Master Plan and Program Statement in progress by myself and Adam Mcintyre, starting October 2010, to be delivered in early April 2011.

After the School of the Future DesignShop event, the idea of building the new Master’s Campus on the existing property, instead of the 40 acre site outside of Calgary, slowly gained momentum for a variety of reasons. These will be spelled out in the work referenced below. In the meantime, the Collaboration Studio has experienced increasing use and a nascent, slowly evolving, ValueWeb has been forming to build the environment supportive of and expressive of the Master vision of education. My role as systems integrator of this design-build-use process has also evolved with MG Taylor, AI and tsmARCHITECTURE as core elements of this evolving ValueWeb.®

I will continue to develop and update these Notes to “finish” the documentation of this phase spanning from 2003 and into 2011. All of the project concepts covered here, built and un built, inform one another including the past and the future of this project which will take many years to be fully realized. It is all of one piece. However, commentary on the project after the completion and formal presentation of the Schematic Master Plan will be documented in a different series of pages with a new index. This will stress the point that Masters vision of a new campus has undergone the transformation from an idea to a project.

This project is a significant one in the development of MG Taylor’s work. This is more than another navCenter - one of many. It is even more than an interesting work of architecture to be designed and built. It will be the first time that we will have employed our full architectural practice model with a full scale ValueWeb on a large project fully employing the MG Taylor System and Method. The meshing of the Master’s Academy and College, the Geenius® system, with the MG Taylor System and Method to create an integrated environment of learning, design, collaboration and global enterprise in one place will make a civic reality which has never existed before. This is more than a career and business milestone. It is act of making a true 21st Century environment designed and built to create a new spiritual and material reality. An “example of one” offered as a possibility and choice to Humanity.
