This is a good and interesting point. I’m familiar with think tanks as institutions, but not as physical spaces. I will say, the output of most think tanks isn’t something we want to emulate, it seems fine and on topic but not particularly intellectually lively, with the notable exception of new entrants like FAI and IFP. And it just so happens that those are, at least, influenced by this community. A significant portion of each have accounts here, not something that’s true of Brookings.
So I believe think tank interior design could be interesting, but I suspect it wouldn’t have much to teach a project like this.
