A PRESENT -- AKD -- A Kingdom District

 Our Objective for this Blog is to identify and network with people that would like to participate with us in planning and creating a very large futuristic project.
This is a Land Development Project we have named, "A Kingdom District," or AKD for short. AKD is a Project Assembly Program consisting of twelve large interrelated projects. In general we call this Design/Build PROGRAM, "A PRESENT". AKD is 'the box' or container for "A PRESENT". In the box are twelve (12) objects or projects to be presented and discussed herein.
 The Prophet Ezekiel gave us the description of A Kingdom District (AKD) 2500 years ago.  AKD is described by Ezekiel as: 

The entire portion will be a square, 25,000 cubits (almost 10 mi.) on each side. As A SPECIAL GIFT, you will set aside the SACRED PORTION along with the PROPERTY OF THE CITY. 

• AKD is A PRESENT given in love; a gift of land, plans, materials, and workmanship given as A SPECIAL GIFT to YHWH our Heavenly Father and Creator of ALL THINGS.
• AKD is a special place, set aside for a special purpose: “While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside THE TEMPLE.  He said: ‘Son of man, this is a place of MY THRONE and a place for the souls of my feet.  This is where I will live among the Israelites forever.
• AKD is a PROGRAMMED PLANNING PROJECT with SPECIAL 2,500 year old ORDERS to DESIGN AND BUILD: “Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their sins.  Let them consider the plan, and if they are ashamed of all they've done, make known to them the design of the temple--its arrangement, its exits and entrances--its whole design and all its regulations and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all its regulations.” 
• AKD is surrounded by a Forty-Mile Long Hall Of Peace Embankment (FML-HOPE),  a.k.a. a retaining wall Boundary Enveloping Level Terrain (BELT) around AKD.

 What we are seeking in the Spatial Design Concepts (SDC): 
Primarily we are looking for a spatial design of a  complex and beautiful RETAINING WALL TOP (RWT) a.k.a. the AKD BELTWAY, see attached AKD - LOI exhibit.
 Height of object: 
RWT is to be 3 stories tall; that includes: 1. the lower level, called the TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE FLOOR, retains the top layer of fill behind the retaining wall; 2. the roof of the lower level (a.k.a. GROUND FLOOR) is flush with THE PLAIN of AKD (a.k.a. the Meegrash {heb. ????? flat ground, grass landscaped surface, behind the retaining wall}), 3. the roof  over the ground floor comprises the third level called the ESPLANADE, [it includes LANDSCAPING, PATHS, ARBORS and SHELTERS].
 Size of object: 
The width at the top of the BELTWAY is 250 cubits (q) wide (158.75 meters, 6250 inches), and the height of each floor is to be determined by design purpose. 
 Special features: 
Egress from the esplanade level is to be via ramps and stairs from the outside edge of the esplanade onto the ground floor (roof of the transport floor)  and through to the transportation level. Lateral through passages, stairs, elevators, public and emergency facilities are spaced every 2500 cubits (q) (1587.5 meters, 62,500 inches). One example of the various components proposed is required.  Each should be presented as a block that can be erased, moved or copied and pasted as required. The sections should have an attach point on either inside (AKD side) end on the lower level, so that they can be duplicated and joined as required. The more attributes and alternatives attached, the better.

Slope:

The outside surface of the ground floor and the esplanade will slope laterally 2% toward AKD with surface drainage collected and deposited in reservoirs behind the RETAINING WALL, inside AKD. In addition to this lateral slope we have a longitudinal sloop of  0.6% and 3.0%. You should develop 4-each 2500 cubit (see Special features above) long sections of RWT: one 3% slope (north side) and one 0.6% slope (west side) to the right and one 3% slope (south side) and one 0.6% slope (east side) to the left looking out from AKD.

Additional FML-HOPE Spatial Design Object Parameters:

 FML pronounced, pamal|yah: Hebrew meaning: entourage, a group of special or famous persons accompanying a VIP on a mission. (Related English word, family). The meaning and significance of this Hebrew word relates to the BRANCH mission, prepare A PRESENT for a VIP, YHWH our Heavenly Father, and His son, Yahshua, the ONE who saves us. Hopefully, this will become more revenant and understandable as you progress through these design parameters and discover the purpose and mission for yourself.

 HOPE = to want or expect something to happen or be true, especially something that seems possible or likely. (MS Encarta Dictionary.) Most people want and hope for peace on Planet Earth. Many are looking for ‘The Messiah’. Both of these are products of this process.  “If we build, they will come!” This is the famous phrase from the movie Field of Dreams. That defines FML-HOPE, containing AKD, a field of dreams, and if we build, they will come!

 AKD = A Kingdom District, A PRESENT for YHWH. This design object, FML-HOPE, is A BELTWAY around AKD. It is a package or container, a bottle, of sorts, that contains AKD. FML-HOPE retains water runoff within AKD. It provides energy through control of water, wind and sun. It makes available vistas, promenades, and nostalgia. It houses people and businesses and makes available gardens and parks. Inside of this Forty-Mile Long parameter BELTWAY OBJECT is A Kingdom District (AKD).

 Hall Of Peace Embankment, (HOPE) SPECIFICATIONS: a 40 mile long RETAINING WALL (10 miles on each side) completely surrounds AKD. The inside edge of RETAINING WALL is the outer boundary/wall of AKD which is 25,000 cubits (q) (15.875 Kilometers, 625,000 inches) square. Through a process of systematic development AKD is cut and filled forming a gently sloping PLAIN, with the highest elevation in the Southwest corner of AKD and the lowest elevation is on the East side as required by existing contours. The primary purpose of the wall is to hold a soil/rock embankment filled with water. A secondary purpose is to provide as many services as possible to visitors to the wall and the surrounding community. The ground level will be used for shops and galleries to permanently display ancient inscriptions and grave markers found while reshaping the site. This is an important feature, because, according to our client, no burial sites are to be allowed within AKD. (RE: Ezekiel 43:7-9)

 ESPLANADE Egresses and Entrances: blend in with the design on the top of the wall, lead to transportation, accommodations, shops and restaurants within the wall structure.

 ESPLANADE Railings and Arbors: The railings should provide vista visibility (the Mediterranean to the West and the Dead Sea to the East), safety, broken windbreak (open space between solid spaces, it would be helpful to have a wind/sound study incorporated in the attached SDC attributes), passive energy (if possible), etc. We want to incorporate ancient swords and spears into the handrail design. We are going to ask people to donate these, along with a history. We will place them with the pointed end down, possibility in some type of protective unit, all around the esplanade; and they will represent peace and turning swords into something useful.  Anything you might suggest you must have in mind a means for its accomplishment.

 ESPLANADE Gardens paths and lawns: The designs should include means for roof gardening (such as hollow concrete columns or pillars, for vines, shade areas, etc.), and memorials, mausoleum etc could also be proposed as alternates.
