a building that bordered on art.

elevated off the ground by columns, steps, and a statue which appears to be lifting the front end of the structure
loosely based on the 'atlas' statue by lee lawrie, the dark horizontal form is elevated on individual elements,

underneath, a public park creates a community space. the garden has greenery and fountains to bring a natural element

"the floating monolith is sealing and protecting the knowledge and learning needed for preventing future disasters." -- Just an idea, wouldn't it be worth sharing this knowledge and learning so others can benefit from it and hopefully 'prevent' future disasters?
