Open AI Summary

Summary: This document, dated November 9, 1989, provides a description of a site associated with the CIA's Stargate program. The site is a large rectangular structure with multiple floors and moveable dividers, stanchions, lighting, cubicles, and narrow twisting passageways. The interior is decorated in neutral beiges and greys but also contains splashes of color in specific areas. The ground floor is spacious and carpeted, with a desk and helpful staff member. The atmosphere inside is calm and library-like, with books present. The location is reminiscent of Stanford University's library and features extensive landscaping and outdoor amenities. The exterior walls have textured bas relief or carved surfaces. Adjacent to the structure are pointed triangular shapes that may contain glass and appear shiny and ribbed. The site has a sense of commercial necessity but its primary focus is on its main activity, similar to an art museum.

 Summary of  Information
 Site  involves a large,  rectangular structure of several
 floors or   levels.   The top  levels are full 'of dividers that are
 moveable.,  stanchions, lighting,   cubicles,         and narrow halls or
 passageways that are twisting and turning but  always following
 right angles---almost labyrinthian.   ;Though the overall  cover
 scheme of   the  interior and exterior of the structure is oriented
 to neutral  beiges and greys,  inside there are still  lots of
 colors  in specific,-defined locations.    On the ground floor there
 is a sense of spaciousness-  alost cavernous,-+,hough it     is,   4-
 carpeted,                             decorated, and pleasantly appointed.   There is a desk
 at a, distance across a wide open  space behind which sits someone
 who is meant to be helpful.   Diffused lighting  is emphasized.
 Inside. is a calm, 'quiet, library-like atmosphere,  with a sense, of .,
 quiet pursuits, a bookish sort of feeling----in fact,  books seem to,
 be an.element here.   Location reminds me of Stanford U.  library,..,,
 The surroundings are  landscaped,  extensive,  with a plaza and
 trees,  walkways,  and at  least one bike rack. The exterior walls,,,,.
 of the structure are purposefully textured--like a bas relief or
 frieze has been  impressed or carved into a masonry surface.
 the  immediate vicinity of the structure  is a further structure or
 series ofobj,ects with a  "serrated" dimensionality about.it.--

 series  of  pointed,  triangular shapes that seem to be on top of
 something,  a.s on a roof.   They seem to be shiny and ribbed, and
 may contain glass.
 There  is a further sense of  "alternative Nosiness" feel
 about  it,  like  there's a sort of commercial necessity t
 the
 enterprise,  but this commercial aspect is submerged in the
 primary activity that occurs here.   An analogy would be an art,
 museum that must make some money to stay in operation but whose
 main focus  is art.
