Title[edit]
Shouldn't the title be just Seward's Success? There are no other articles with that name (apart from the redirect) so disambiguation is not necessary. – ukexpat (talk) 21:24, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- Since this was the name of an unbuilt city, I followed the convention for naming set forth at WP:NCGN. However, I am agreeable to any consensus reached on the subject. Patriarca12 (talk) 02:21, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Tandy Industries may have conceived of the project in 1968, but design work was not done until 1970. I was the Project Designer/Project Planner at Adrian Wilson Associates. I worked under the direction of Shoji Shimizu, the Director of Design. I have the original hand drawn Site Plan for the project which is signed and dated by me, Michael Pearce Architect. The architectural design is attributed to Shoji Shimizu Architect. The description of the project is accurate with one important distinction. The project was never intended to be covered by a glass Dome. The climate control was to be accomplished by all of the residential buildings having interior linear courtyards. The cross section of the residential buildings were in an A shape with natural ground at the bottom of the A, and residential units stepping down both sides of the A. The ends of the A shaped buildings were designed in glass with glassed in connections to a system of moving sidewalks which would take residents and visitors from the central spine of the project on the top of the ridge, down the slope to the various residential buildings, schools, etc.
I have several renderings and the original site plan in digital form, and can attach the images to this page if someone tells me how to post them? ((user: michael.pearce.architect))
