A protected center for ordinary life.

The Commons

The Commons joins planted walks, bakery counters, meals, shops, and shared tables inside Concord.

Residents and children eat and talk in a bright planted Concord Commons with a bakery counter and service robot.

The town’s room

The Commons gives residents a place to eat, meet, play, and pass through on the way to the school, library, and other services. Pressure boundaries remain part of the building, but the point of the space is the life that happens inside them.

Find this in the novel: Chapters 2, 6.
