Modern Beauty & the Pedestrian Experience
Sat, Aug 23 from 10am - 12pm
The age-old “less is more” seems to have lost its grip on the current generation of architects. On this tour of Denny Triangle and South Lake Union you’ll see a new batch of contemporary work that re-engages the notion of beauty, reconnects with landscaping, and puts more focus on ground-level architectural detail where we experience our urban environments up close. There are even a few moments where the Pacific Northwest Style edges out the more common International Style, creating a local identity within one of the largest live-work neighborhoods in the country. Join us and see what we mean!
