April dawns this year fluttering over a breeze insistent on the persistence and endurance of all things good, special for longstanding designs, in place, true to form, yet how yesterday seemed better, while many view and glance, with cynicism, with optimism, with gladness, then why the Enquiry, not but over, sought by homesteader to seek agreement, concurrence, and smart alignment of smaller assertions than the Masterplan, yet in which our faith abide; as is each small design to the bigger design, the Dream to be wrought an inscription to the Grand Design. Of a value each proposal ought to stand by, awaiting community’s consensus, in a assessment which is fair – how valuation wrought of orderly proceedings run forward from simple to complex forms whose realization and then standing form ought be produced, but small to large a precarious balance in fact, in Deed endeavors to situate in the currents of spatio-temporal Logic. Architecture! Is spatio-temporality in deed – what should be raised, what should stand? What ought be upheld justly presumed as to finalized designs, in drawings, in diagrams, in blueprints, all to plan established, usually presumed justifiably.
Previous, adoring our time in peace designs of international architecture raised up our morale, sentiments fair, and Dreams alight. Harmonies and delightful scene carry through melodies and interludes: we do admit what for granted that the dream was carried in each rhythms and bears echo locating what respective to each found denominative urban forms and plans in common. Enquiry by many avenues, all had been aware of what grandeur sized and proportioned order does rise to promote all lives and strifes as though from within. Excellence travel through the avenues and streets where new and existent vertical architecture rise and stand, to perception and reality. Discovery that the small world of this town is one and to habit all rended wonder yet despite strife by many parties this world trembled where presumption to blueprint failed now here, then there; raising our gaze, what powers could unsettle thusly nevertheless yielded the glimpse of Other Worlds. In what did such large power incubate, by what reason if business where accounting has discrepancies;
But graciously, visitors from Faraway may yet cede if order proclaim in proceedings normal, forward into the Future inclusive of each side, per cultural background and where Home calls.
So that Era in temporal continuum depended on the motion of the act of raising did meet what here called meddling that values of urbanscape fluctuated to the will and call by some other seeking reception to their global values, admitted by optimism in some future Deed this upon cries of unfairness or ugliness leave both building companies and guests in surprise. Upon Adventure many did come and knew not what responsibilities could be assigned, by records of early assertion, fuzzy enquiry, and ranged opinions.
How affected each instance despite order raised what alternately by locals and local jurisdiction called disruptions suspend the enactment in built form by the wildness where alas! But Architecture. With little doubt, the dream was elevated more lofty that what could be ongoing before and slow and steady progress Is Understood to have made encounter with what foreign interceptance Yet what known here, to have entered obstacle course is That grounding, the normal, the standard, that which was already set in place a charming garden, a beautiful city, a small wonderful world. Hopes of the
Community has rested thus, but now unfortunate circumstance calls
so we as Architects, Associates, and Building Companies with the community
to seek wise restoration of what set forth as within Masterplan
But where but here despite masterplan in development as ongoing progress, observations of installations resented by those who have traversed space and time, and leapfrog over civilizations by oceans and sky to this fair land did demonstrate our presumptions by Beautiful Architecture and wonderful masterplan, trembling, fluttering, design pushed back from awesome state to a state representing falsely values of certainty and uncertainty, formalized and formulating Questions of great power, thus presumed to order and evenly by other worlds’
Authority respective appearing like galaxies colliding the urban forms and architecture forms shown to be other than given fact, such being one of some one hundred messages by courier graced here presence of another world that presume other priority, prudent would we be to examine what written in but at once to Delay and to suspend wherever possible, drastic actions that strike and frighten, and Return to Orderly Proceedings.
Yet unbelievable how in Architects’ specific tables turn in undulation upon values very special recline However still distinctive each call, act, and motion are to be seen actively that each to defer to Higher Orders very factual the resuming of local smaller orders in
Architecture.
So how now but to reflect on our reception in regards guests with whom we seek a careful readjustment pending what content retrievable from interdialogue And in regards our unique masterplan Too to the existent orders numbering according to historical records and all the special documents to each respective so three as No-Demolition, Restoration, and Protection as in accordance to the Interim Standing Order of Architecture currently in effect for the city of Calgary, this document dating April the Seventh of Year Two thousand and twenty five: addressing the active masterplan to retrieve and withdraw to be willed the careful contemplation of a field balance of values in Architecture but now to receive what urgent message content to justfy even where astounding For upon our fair land and humble people Evenly these grand assertions….. See to the Schedule of Restoration in representation of unique instances
and general field, cataloguing which each architecture
requires attention by most expertise and collective effort
as in beautiful drawings of scale and propotion, and too
as each recall ie. the hopes of the community
Amidst the drastic, the melodic, all seek poetry
In sight of Truth and Beauty… Finally to us in Calgary
Knowledge that worlds upon worlds: Be done even magic and
Be set back to a stability, a plateau, a desirable stasis. O’ Calgary_
