A major feature of the Academy is a geodesic dome enclosing a
multi-storied tower that will house the administrative offices, guest suites,
tourist facilities and other services.
The conceptual design was by noted Iranian-American artist Bijan
Bahar. The rendering of the site plan
was by HD Architects of Gilbert, Arizona, Arizona’s largest educational
architectural firm. Surrounding that
tower and geodesic dome will be six villages representing the continents
(Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania (Australia,
New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands).
Each village will be “slice of time,” or a living architectural museum
representing the “golden ages” of the
cultures on those continents. Within
these six villages will be science laboratories, classroom, and the sports
facilities. Surrounding the six villages
will be a world-class golf course designed by Mr. Gary Player of South
Africa. Bordering the Heroes of Golf Course
will be housing for retired athletes and others from all nations who will have
access to the Academy’s superb training and fitness facilities.
