From Stone to Steel: Seattle Style from Then 'til Now
Sat, Nov 18, 2023 from 10am - 12pm
Can a city be a fashionista? As with clothing, architecture has its hot trends and enduring styles. Beginning with Seattle’s rebirth after the great fire of 1889, the city’s new buildings have been up-to-the-minute examples of the latest designs of the times – from chunky, monumental Romanesque to stark, unadorned Brutalism, to environmentally conscious, sleek glass and steel towers showcasing computer-aided, high-tech design. Walk the design runway in this decade-by-decade tour of what’s been new and exciting in downtown Seattle’s built environment from 1889 through today.
This tour leaves from outside of the Mutual Life Building at 605 1st Ave (1st and Yesler).
