the birth of Nado Storm - Cape Town


The year is 1010ad, Tablebay is filled with the earths warrior tribes. Viking longboats, Phoenician trading vessels, Egyptian craft, Chinese and Japanese fighting ships. The 3 dominant local tribes, Hottentots, Strandlopers and San. traveling dignitaries have come from far inland and far up the African coast, Zulu kings and Xhosa rulers. Toltec tribesman on their astro travels, Hans and Souix elders . All shoulder to shoulder looking towards a common directive.

representatives from each and every man child clan. to commemorate the unification treaty the tribes agreed to create the universal warrior. he would take on aspects of each and every clan represented. it was given to the San scribes the task to capture the imagery.

Nado Storm - controller of the cape winter storms and summer trade winds. protector of the unification treaty. The tribes gave their nod of approval and it was so. the future passage of time looked prosperous for man.

as is true of all mans best endeavours - a breakaway clan who wanted to control all , who where not part of the main warrior collective, led by a Machiavellian warlord and the one called the adamastor managed to poisoned the minds of the collective. banished Nado to the dark recesses of the adamastors domain in the Kalkbay caves and plunged the earth into darkness and turmoil.

Nado Storm - is awaiting his rebirth - when once again all mankind's tribes are gathered on cape soil. 2010 is set to be more than just a sporting event - as the poison would have worked its way through and a new day dawns.

Orchastrated buildings - architectural musical interlude - wildetecture style


Imagine architectural buildings, built environment suburbs that have a far more complicated purpose - Way beyond just living space or working space - Imagine if the buildings from one perspective all lined up to create musical notes. Sound made visual in perspective. Creating architecture that goes beyond - i mean way beyond - Form following function - Creating a much greater function and living and working space being a component of this new sculptured greater function. One could create cities that keyed into the works of Mozart and the like. Creating multi dimensional living environments that inspire a few more of our senses. This process of design is what wildetecture is exploring - The style is Africa fauvistic architecture - wildetecture - wild design born from the thankfully as yet incredible untamed continent.

Perhaps cultures where doing this before with there structures. Multi perspective uses. If a person found a flash disk 10 thousand years from now. (Yes i know, it would be non usable) say it was stored well. The person finding it wouldn't know he needed a computer to view, electricity to power and a host of additional components to understand. Its why we dont understand the stuff we find under the desert sands. Perhaps under the snow its better preserved. Are we going to find a usable ancient flash disk from the past anytime soon? With its accompanying parts to view. 

Multi dimensional design is what the cubists where exploring. We can do that in our architectural design right now. Stop thinking 2d think 5d.
