The 30-Year Building Cycle (2025–2055)
Present Day Concepts
Just as 1893–1928 marked a transformative building cycle, we now stand at the edge of another. Our architecture blends neoclassical elegance with futuristic function—drawing from the World’s Fairs to inspire unity and vision.
Innovative Civic Vision
We design spaces that do more than function—they inspire. Our civic architecture aims to unite, uplift, and endure. These are not just buildings. They’re beacons of possibility.
The Strategy: Like Means
What worked once can work again. By blending historical insight with modern capability, we apply proven strategies with new tools to restore America’s identity and promise.
Public Events Designed to Unite
Designed to bring people together and foster civic pride, sense of community, and provide hope for the future. Each state will have a chance to host one of the United Above All Events & Technology Roadshow Expos.
Technological Hubs
Innovative environments that support growth and sustainability through workforce development programs with OEM certification training in a theme park/resort-like setting, designed to attract people and families of all ages.
Architectural Inspiration
Classical designs infused with modern aesthetics and purpose. Taking the monumental feats of engineering of the past, with a modern architecture design emphasizing form and function.
