SPACE
        SPACE NEEDS
                We need a fully functioning kitchen. 
                This kitchen should be for this huge extended Media Lab family.
                A 100-year kitchen.
                It should have working and "not working" (i.e. for a world which does not yet exist) parts.
                We need blank wall space for projections.

        POSSIBLE SPACES
                ClaudioÍs old space
                Under the stairs in the lower atrium
                Bruce BlumbergÍs old space
