The Civic Center should be the showcase of a city that is world class. The Civic Center can't be everything for everybody. In the City Hall there should be flexible space and opportunity for programming in lots of different spaces, not just in galleries. There should be Performance Art spaces. We need a place that attracts passersby and pulls them into it.
Architecture needs to support the idea of bringing people together.
Each section needs clear identity. There should be boundaries but not walls. There should be music and coffee at City Hall. There should be multiple spaces for art. There should be a series of exhibitions of new artworks.
