    This document proposes adapting the Wells Fargo building through various interventions to promote community development and a more egalitarian corporate structure. The building would be reconfigured to include public spaces like a museum, city hall, and commercial areas. Its interior would have "vertical agoras" or shared social spaces on different levels. Finally, the building skin would be modified with gardens, zones, and penetrations to further encourage social interaction and a flatter organizational hierarchy.
