Remember the qualities of the popular small urban spaces described by William H. Whyte and his group
at the New York City Planning Commission, mentioned Section 9.4.2. Using this basic installation, try to
emulate those features in your Ideagora.
9.6.1.3 Personalizing Your Ideagora
Personalize your Ideagora with objects and graphic elements made by your team; set up a leaderboard, a wall
of images such as “awesome team member of the month” or some method of identifying each member of the
group in a special way.
9.6.1.4 Landscaping around the Ideagora
By adding landscaping and additional gathering areas around the Ideagora, you create space that allows for
private casual conversations and provides an escape from the intensity of the central meeting area. Put in
greenery and landscape elements, such as shown in Figure 9.8.

9.6.2.1 The Screens
There are two large 16:9 screens in the Ideagora. They are provided for you to display media you chose for
your meeting. When you get the model loaded in, you should change the texture on the surface of the screen
to a texture that indicates to the visitors there is a media channel present. Sometimes, visitors need to be
reminded to turn on their media channels.
