The project is named after Canyonlands National Park in Southern Utah. It is known for its dramatic desert landscapes carved by the Colorado River.
The project draws parallels from important characteristics found in Canyonlands National Park, these include:
- Depth and Layers: Canyonlands has a unique layered landscape with different geological layers exposed over time. The project has many layers and components that work together to create a scalable system over time.
- Explore and Discover: Canyonlands is a vast and rugged park, inviting exploration and discovery. Similarly, the project aims to explore new possibilities, discover innovative solutions, and venture into uncharted territories.
- Resilience and Adaption: The park’s landscape has been shaped by millions of years of erosion, weathering, and adaptation. The project is architected with the key cornerstone of adaptability in mind.
- Scalability and Expansion: Canyonlands is vast park, covering over 136,610 Hectares (337,570 acres). Just like the sheer scale of the park, the project has ambitious goals in terms of its capabilities and features.
- Beauty and Aesthetics: The park is known for its breathtaking scenery and unique rock formations. The project aims to create a user-friendly, intuitive, and visually appealing interface, much like the park’s expansive landscape.
- Endurance and Perseverance: Exploring Canyonlands requires endurance and perseverance, navigating challenging terrain and harsh weather conditions. Developing this project requires similar qualities, overcoming various obstacles through persevering through challenges and skill shortages to achieve success.
