INDUSTRIALISTS
- Pat Faley's company designs and builds drones for the US armed forces. These pilotless aircrafts are used with deadly purpose in Afghanistan, but also for surveillance over the US southern border with Mexico. This ex-fighter pilot is a brillant adviser on automation and other assembly line technologies.
- Pierre Caouette, Regen Nautic founder and CEO is also an ex commercial pilot who recently developed digital technology to manage the electrical systems of 'green' yatchs and cruisers. More than a consulted friend and industrialist, Pierre is also a generous donor to the Institute. He also represents us occasionally in Florida where Regen Nautic is located.
ELEVATED WITH A PURPOSE
Shown at trade shows where sometimes there is only one day to put it up, the basic Archimede houses attracted crowds of up to 75,000 people in one weekend thorughout the early 80's. No one appeared to be surprised when it was hailed as 'Tomorrow's House', even though the actual purposes of sitting it high were:- To profit from small lots by parking the auto below it
- To better resist floods and earthquakes
- to create a higher space that would leave cold air below, along with boots, skis and snow covered clothing.
- for the added security from robbery where only one door needs to be protected
- And basically to profit from the views and the breezes afforded by elevated living.
