Meta Center

Tokyo, Japan - 1989

Kirsch Center for Environmental Studies

This prototype meeting center combines environmental design, process design, visual language, and electronic support, to create an environment that supports high performance teamwork.  MetaCenter offers the features of a luxurious executive retreat for people and organizations who want to manage themselves creatively and effectively.

The facilities include offices, a conference center, a health and fitness center, dining commons, an atrium, and trade exhibit space.  MetaCenter itself is designed to provide a physical mirror for the processes that occur within it, a design that can be adapted to fit into existing buildings in an urban or a suburban location.  By acknowledging the ecology of wholeness in its architecture, MetaCenter serves the whole person.
