This is the first board from my mid-term presentation for “Skyscrapers and Superheroes”.   Here I’m proposing a crowd-sourcing center that would be located in the base of the John Hancock tower.  The center would house three main areas: the projection screen and theater, onto which the results of a crowd-sourced project would be displayed (the big white surface); a personal computing room where the public could conduct research and prepare presentation material; and a repository/ database of past projects (leftmost).  The cantilever at the top of the stairs is a viewing deck that is oriented towards Copley Square — it would double as beacon to pedestrians moving through Copley Sq.
