Introducing sPARK., a visionary amphitheater and hub designed to ignite creativity and foster connections within our local community.
But first, meet Steve, a 21-year old entrepreneur who tries to expand his tech business but struggles to find a place from where he can effectively grow his network and clientele
- As you can see, Steve has been running into problems in every corner of his life, so we found him a place with no corners at all: The sPARK
- The sPARK is a oval-shaped town center that is centered in a small community. It has a multifunctional open space in the middle with floating, sphere-shaped pods surrounding the space. The pods will be used for various purposes such as food courts, retail stores, or show rooms for tech-companies. Since the pods are hovering thanks to cutting-edge electromagnet technology, they can be moved around easily for efficient preparation by companies and to restructure the open space for events.
- The floor in the center is motorized, so the terrain can be adjusted and transformed for any event. Need a football field? sPARK has got you. Need a concert hall? sPARK can make it. Need a high-terrain mountain biking course? Easy. This makes the town center an exciting, versatile meeting point for all events and shows, creating a sense of community by bringing people together. Furthermore, it promotes innovation by bringing together creative minds from various industries who are then able to collaborate, network, and combine their ideas, all in a single oval.
- In addition, the permeable pavement used all along sPARK help rainwater reach the underlying aquifer, preventing runoff and chemicals going into the natural ecosystem, making it very sustainable.
- Steve is happy because he finally found the right environment to work on his business and make connections with other organizations, and because of sPARK, he managed to scale it to a multitrillion dollar company. You might know of its name today, Apple.
- sPARK. is where innovation, community, and sustainability come together. It is more than a hub—it is a movement, a space where creativity is sparked, connections are forged, and the future is shaped.
So what are you waiting for? Come and visit sPARK, where innovation meets opportunity. With the right environment, the right connections, and a space designed for limitless possibilities, you too can be just as successful as Steve.
Introducing sPARK., a visionary amphitheater and hub designed to ignite creativity and foster connections within our local community. At sPARK, we bring together high-net-worth companies, emerging artists, start-ups, and research institutions, creating a dynamic environment where innovation thrives.
sPARK. is a testament to sustainability through its efficient design. At its heart lies a circular central park with modular terrain, a space that can seamlessly transform into whatever you wish! Want to organize a sports event? sPARK’s got you. How about a skateboard park? An amphitheater? Or even a music festival with a rotatory stage? sPARK has everything you can dream of.
Surrounding this central park are igloo-shaped pods equipped with standard digital displays and dynamic signage that optimize resource use and simplify the reconfiguration of exhibitions. Designed for quick turnover and versatile application, these pods employ magnetic levitation technology, enabling them to hover above the ground for effortless mobility, reconfiguration, and convenience for exhibitors and showrooms. These adaptable spaces serve a wide variety of uses – host showrooms for major tech companies like Tesla, Google or Apple, labs for emerging start-ups like lab-grown meat or gaming companies, design exhibits for graphic designers, or even food trucks for daily sustenance and game meets.
It is perfect for users like Artist Abigail who requires a modular work-design space that serves as both an office and a showroom to exhibit her digital art pieces. sPARK., with its proximity to big brand names, research institutions and even other emerging artists will allow Abigail to connect in a collaborative environment, fostering networking, discussions, and the exchange of the latest art techniques. sPARK. reimagines collaboration and growing one’s clientele has never been this easy!
Reflecting the changing demographics of our society, sPARK. embraces the needs of modern families—those who may choose pets over traditional family structures. Our dog-friendly design includes leash hooks, dog treadmills, water basins, taps, and food dispensers, catering to our four-legged friends. But sPARK. is also deeply committed to inspiring creativity and learning among children and families. Our science center offers hands-on educational experiences, with exhibits ranging from butterflies and anthropology to astronomy, aerospace, soil science, and biomedicine. And to complement this, the Mariposa Market embodies our commitment to sustainability, offering locally sourced food and products that further enrich the community experience.
sPARK. is where innovation, community, and sustainability come together. It is more than a hub—it is a movement, a space where creativity is sparked, connections are forged, and the future is shaped.
