Ivanpah Visionaries Invited To Contribute
If you have a constructive and futuristic vision
for Ivanpah Valley and the proposed Ivanpah Valley International Airport, IvanpahValley.com will consider
printing your musings and your creative thoughts. These must be well-written.
Please keep in mind it is the
position of this website that Ivanpah Airport is needed and is inevitable.
The challenges surrounding this colossal
project will be dizzying and exhilarating. The challenges also are bound to be sobering.
It
can boggle the mind to think Ivanpah Valley International Airport will be designed and constructed for operations that
extend pretty much to the end of the 21st Century.
How can it be designed to remain relevant for many decades?
How can it stay efficient? How "green" can it be? How can it exist compatibly with the surrounding desert?
How can it be designed so it can adapt to circumstances and technologies that will certainly change repeatedly
in a rapidly-changing world? How will the roads be designed to handle huge surges of ground traffic? What
kind of "people-movers" will be utilized to make people consistently satisfied with their arrivals and
departures? How can this supplemental airport be dignified and exciting at the same time, keeping in mind it
will not even begin operations until 2017? What will be the tone and appearance of all the various buildings that
will go up around the airport?
As stated on another page of this site, Ivanpah Airport will not
be McCarran, and Ivanpah Valley should not be Las Vegas duplicated. Ivanpah Valley has a different
personality than the extraordinary city 30 miles to the north. The differences should be respected, reflected upon and discussed.
Ivanpah Valley International Airport needs to be the very best it can be. Quoting Frank Lloyd Wright, "Every
great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age."
