Contemplation
The contemplation area will provide a quiet, meditative setting, where visitors can reflect on their journey through the PEC. Enveloped in a spare yet evocative space combining a soothing water element with a generous gathering area, visitors will be encouraged to take time to consider the meaning of their recent experience. Preliminary thoughts for the water feature suggest a piece of cantilevered, honed slate across which flows a thin sheet of water that spills off the table into a pool below.
Just outside of the contemplation space will be an area entitled "Recording Your Thoughts," where visitors can document their reactions to the PEC in a "memory book" (real or virtual), connect with other organizations involved in international peacebuilding, or sign up to receive additional materials from the Institute.
