structure. The exterior skin covering the space-frame consists of either metal or composite material for both esthetics and protection from the environmental elements. A few design adjustments can accommodate energy elements into the structure. Octet Truss floors can be designed to rotate. Interior wall and ceiling panels will be adhered to the inner frame for style and comfort. Fiber Optics will transfer both communication and light. The Triton City concept is capable of providing the Space-frame for structures with rock solid concrete to make them hurricane resistant and stronger than conventional structures that are easily devastated in hurricanes. Land-based structures would help assist those currently in need of housing in the USA due to Hurricane Katrina loss of housing in New Orleans and from Hurricane Ike primarily in the Texas. The exterior slopes redesign of the Triton structure would incorporate plug-in multi-level living units. These units will be made in the current NAO Auto factories and returned to industry within 20 to 30 years for recirculation and replacement. The interior stores, school rooms, and business structures will be plugged in as modular units. When the need to convert the units for upgrades or recycling of materials occurs they can be unplugged and returned to the industry with no loss of materials. Therefore, it creates a truly circulatory industry in line with nature and a sustainable service development industry.

Describe the critical need your solution addresses.

I have written letters to the CEO’s of General Motors Corporation, Ford Motor Company, and Chrysler Corporation, the United Auto Workers (UAW) President, two US Senators, and one US House Representative in July 2008.

On October 1st, 2008, I met and spoke to Mr. Troy A. Clarke, GM President of North American Operations and Group Vice-President of GM Operations. I provided information in writing to Clarke regarding the proposal of creating a new Housing Industry in America.

I intend to continue communicating by letter to my political representatives and Industrial Leaders for a new Housing Industry in America. Whenever possible I will attend lectures by any individual or group that will either provide information or assist in moving this industry forward.

Explain your initiative in more depth and its stage of development.

This project is comprehensive in that it provides a new industry for the USA, jobs and sustainable economic growth to a world economy currently in crisis. It is anticipatory since materials deteriorate over time and will recycle back into the industry creating new job growth and better products. This means that the industry is ecologically responsible with the return of materials and continued job replenishment for future generations of workers. It is feasible since the need currently exists for housing humanity and creating new jobs. The current economic crisis will prove beneficial in providing the funding to the North American Automobile industry to jump-start this new housing industry.

This industry can produce a replicable housing unit that will be designed and prototyped in the USA for a variety of environmental conditions. The industry will then lease the design to other factories globally for local production wherever needed.

How does your strategy and approach respond creatively and comprehensively to key issues?
