Grounding Anchors proposes a building with a central agora and working spaces for the thriving tech startup sector in St. Louis. The agora creates a large, hybridized, interactive space for the intermingling of startup teams. It houses large events that range from product promotion, neighborhood gatherings, and local youth mentorship. Youth mentorship serves a social function that connects startup transplants to the local youth, exposing them of new technolgies that inspire their future endeavors.
