John Ball
Founder – Expo Colorado 2050, A World’s Fair Bid to Celebrate Global Cooperation in Space
Since earning my graduate degree in architecture 30 years ago, my time has been allocated four ways: 35% running architectural firms, 35% in community service, 20% teaching architecture and design, and 10% making art. I’m hoping to spend the next 25 years focused solely on the development of an aerospace themed world exposition in Colorado.
