When you build, you hire an architect and a contractor. They will design the structure and install all the necessary components to make it function. But when you are building would you also ask a philosopher to help? That is exactly what the wise people of Nebraska did. It paid off.  Not only is the Capitol a functioning structure with all the necessary components it also tells a story and guides Nebraskans and all the people who encounter it.

The design team behind the Capitol put in deep thought into the building. They thought about the values and chose what best represented Nebraskans. Then they defined what we now know as The Good Life.
