A New Nexus

My fellow Extropians would be excused for wondering just what I've been up to since accepting my role as director of architecture here. The shiny new, raypunk-style building at the centre of Extropia Core would, at last, be one example.

 

I'm told that this is now Nexus III, and I do hope it's an improvement. The old Nexus, while grand and functional for its time, was generally a bit uneasy as the venue for a now more diminished range of events. This version is intended to be a more open and capable take on the tower which serves as the focus for our community.

Naturally our most popular venue, the salon, remains the Nexus' core feature. Many attendees to previous salon events will know that seating did sometimes cause a distraction, and so we hope to get that fixed before functions resume. This salon is joined in this much more open-plan lobby by a lift and two small lounge booths. For the time being, these lounges are also unoccupied, however we would encourage residents to consider them open to small social gatherings, such as book clubs and small fora. To that end, I'm certainly open to suggestions about the types of furniture you'd like inside these 'common room' spots, which will be added to in coming days.

Lastly, the observation deck will host that most Extropian of features - its view. As well as offering a 'room with a view' for residents to drop into, we hope this floor will also serve some practical function, filling in where the older Nexus' more closetted offices left us. That most dreaded of prim-hogs, the map room, will likely find a place here too, but just as with the lounge booths I'm open to suggestions from you.

Thank you indeed for visiting, and I hope you enjoy Extropia's new 'home'.
