so i think the cleaner more minimalist lines. like club meets meeting house. wood walls that don't go all the way to the ceiling-- are tall enough to block even a tall person from view. rotating collections of small photographs or paintings or maybe even graphic posters. in fact, the posters are great maybe there can be an artist every couple months chosen and the prints produced by emporioom to feature them to the public.
the idea is to make it a place for meeting. it would be like a cafeteria some days of the week, but have other functions too. a couple of days a week it would be used as a meeting place for groups or possibly meet-up type events around different types of topics, issues, clubs, what-have-you.
themes will also be big fun. more coming.
