Buildings that are most comfortable have something that draws me past entrance. Regarding the large atrium, make sure they don’t get stuck and not drawn into the rest of the building. Yes, it’s critical what you put next to atrium. Will I see something on the walls that tells me I am in Eugene? Want to see written and visual history of Eugene. Deaf people like to see and read. We won’t be able to hear the water. We want to get artists involved in interior spaces of the building. I’d like to see entryway flat, at grade or maybe a shallow-rise ramp. Steps keep people from entering. The building has a goal of universal accessibility, unlike many buildings in history. Council chamber is too close, too scary. Don’t need it to be out there. Yes, I’ve thought about that, and other people have said that also. Concept incorporates an entire city block. In terms of access, not sure where transit stops will be. Are there other models where ground level is open, pass through? Structures are above? As an idea, it makes sense. But in reality, the block is so big it would be too dark and you’d lose universal accessibility In our political climate only half of us believe in global warming. Building shouldn’t be preachy. It would be better if it took a humbler tone. World’s greatest building for arts and outdoors; not necessarily ultra-sustainable. I don’t like the drum. Iconic emphasis should be on service function. When you put the drum in there, you get redundancy, conflicting. The front door needs to be entrance all of the time. Sustainability should be highly visible. Shouldn’t be humble.
