Answer: I will be
NOTICES: Salutations;
To all Investors, Developers, and regular folk tired of the same old stile of home & business structures. Only to find you can’t sell do to the mundane & repetitive design rut the Architectural Community has been in for the last 30 odd years? Want a designer that can plan for anything & brake through to a NEW EVOLUTION in ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN.
I am ready to step up & create standards of building design no other has thus far & where the IBC, and Local Codes have not.
OBJECTIVE: To CONVINCE you, the INVESTOR, the ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING FIRM, and all Others that apply, I HAVE A DESIGN IDEA addressing issues that THE IBC AND LOCAL CODE HAVE NOT. I BASED this opinion on the FACT that if you LOOK(ING) AT Homes & Businesses in TORNADO ALLIE, they are still crumbling do to Tornadoes & no revisions in site. As well as the fact that we are still selling windows & doors in these areas without Shutters that “Lock In” to the frame system. (Lumber costs go up do to board up!). Furthermore, we have NEW ORLEANS, TSUNAMIS, AVALANCHES of earth or snow, and VOLCANOES & FLOODS.
MY VISION: with the right team of engineers is to;
1) Built a home or business in tornado alley, and know that after a category 5 tornado goes through my structure stands 75% to 100% better chance it will still be standing.
2) Have a home built in the 2000 ft above sea level with no cares if you became snowed in or warriors of suffering “Cabin Fever”.
3) Know in flood zones with life pods in place in everyone's backyard, no one would have to die from floods anymore. As while as with my new foundation system in place home and business has 75% to 100% better chance of no water damage to the structure.
4) Create for you the Investor a impenetrable resort, hotel, or home along the coast lines where tsunamis are prevalent.
Eliminate the endless cost of Mother Natures furry. No more boarding up windows, packing sandbags, NO MORE NATURAL DISASTER ZONES do to everyday weather for that particular reign
These are just a fraction of what I have in mined. The Keywords being “Environmental Survival” of said structure.
NOTE: Elements being, wind, water, Tornado, Tsunami, land erosion, lava, tidal waves, fire, avalanches, extra.
For me Environmental Survival means:
To build a structure that in design according to the environment with witch it must exist in. Thereby insuring it's further existence even after being subject to the elements that be.
Virtually no one, not even the IBC, UBC, or Local Codes have addressed the issues when arguing the cost to the American tax payer or the ever increasing insurance cost do to deficient configuration of buildings for the elements that be. Lute alone the ecological damage to the surrounding area. Every year to board up, sand bag, and rebuild do to inadequate structural design. Buildings being built disregarding the environment with witch they are intended.
With our renewable resources running out, you have to ask yourself how much longer will they last rebuilding what should have never fallen. If proper building practices were in place that addressed the environment with witch their in & the elements that be, we would not have losses year after year. How many homes could we have built with those same resources used to board up and/or rebuild every year.
A BUILDING CAN ETHER ALLOW NATURE TO FLOW AROUND IT AND THEREBY BEING ONE WITH NATURE OR IT CAN HINDER NATURES NATURAL FLOW AND SUCCUMB TO IT’S FURRY!
I have found a new way of Architectural Thinking. To build with nature and not against it, to allow the elements and the building to flow as one, nether one upsetting the others path or existence. Harmony

Foxytunes? This must be one end of the spectrum of search engine "authority". I'm definitely going to visit a foxytunes.com website to learn about structural engineering and cabin fever. And why not? I believe what I read on the internet.

Dear Sir. All visionary's were persecuted for their view, you must be mine!
But truly "Sir" if I may call you that.....put your $$$ where your mouth is....Let us just build one of these said structures and when it works and lives are saved you can get the credit of being the one critic that became the believer. For all it takes to make change is someone like you trying to disprove someone such as myself! You really don't have much to lose but everything to gain, for when it dose survive, we (meaning you and I) will be on the forefront of Architectural Design World, and folks will be beating a path to our Door! Otherwise keep your inward thinking to yourself!

I like to think of it more as comic relief rather than persecution. But you can't actually expect anyone to take you seriously. You posted elsewhere "I am the Future in Architecture when it comes to Nature! ". Obviously you're inviting a chuckle.
Really, your manifesto reads like a Dr. Bronner's magic soap label. Now, I love the soap, the peppermint leaves a pleasant tingling feeling in the ... well, never mind. The point is that the claims are ridiculous, entertaining good for a laugh on a camping trip after a couple glasses of wine.
I'd much rather think of it as funny than to reflect on the alternative. I suppose the alternative is that we've discovered the internet version of the homeless guy at Denny's at 3:00 am talking to the air, gesturing effusively and maniacally writing on napkins in alternating pen colors. That would suck. Please be the guy who's funny and just having a laugh. To tell the truth, every time I read your posts it makes me smile.

Designing buildings to work with nature instead of against nature deserves some discussion.
Extensive work on design criteria has been done by the Federal Emergency Management Administration. http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=1657
Here is a link to a company that builds hurricane resistant dome structures. http://www.monolithic.com/stories/surviving-hurricanes-and-tornadoes I have no business relationship with this company.
Designing safe rooms in conventional structures is another option.
One of the design considerations in building a resistant structure is the acceptability of the design in the retail market and the cost compared to conventional construction.
Re-thinking the entire design process and re-thinking the marketing of safer structures is worth considering.
Earth berm sheltering of more conventional structures is also a possibility, but many designs tend to be bunker-like, or cave-like, and unacceptable to the buying public.
The challenge is to design safer structures that are commercially viable.

I wanted to comment on construction practices in SW Florida i have seen allot of hurricane shutters installations in Florida and some unnamed companies are just not anchoring the frames correctly.
I just wanted to know if this has been observed by any other contractor?
Our company...Fuji Aluminum has been observing this on a grand scale.
we have been following strict building code in Miami for this applications.
the website for Florida hurricane shutters is
http://www.fujistormshutters.com
Take a look at the product and let us know if any contractors are in need of strict building code compliance for installations of hurricane shutters in SW Florida.
