Centrale Guild Hub

Centrale Guild Hub is a building intending to house multiple of Mercia's main innovators and key guild houses under one roof, to increase intermingling and socialisation between guilds as well as to facilitate progress and stand as a testament to the core tenants and philosophies of the Serenities.

Mainly comprised of brick and stone, the guild hub is a large, wide structure with an open roof and strong, steel-supported glass windows that reach to the top and frame the space. The Guild Hub looks aesthetically similar to an industrial quarter in which it resides or like a train-station that has been elongated vertically to adjust for the merfolk's need for versatility and verticality in settlements. Inside in mostly open plan, with each guild having a house-like structural pen, some guild houses have additional apparatus added to facilitate boilers, furnaces, and other such needs for their guild to function.

From the front opening entrance there is a large open area that hosts a canteen with multiple seating areas on different levels, as well as a large stone-floored foyer with ample signage and plant life. Amongst the architectural proposal is of a main stage or some sort of theater area, however due to its closeness to the middle of Merian's city center, and thus it's town-square with it's stage seating, the proposals are seemingly in an endless state of bureaucratic limbo, nobody wanting to be the one to confirm or deny it's application and causing it to be in administrative tennis match within several levels of Mercian city's planning department and governmental powers.
