Modern Beauty and the Pedestrian Experience
Sat, Apr 27 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 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 the urban environment 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!
This tour meets McGraw Square at Westlake/Stewart and 5th Ave (the streetcar stop) and ends at the Amazon Spheres.
Please note: The interior of the Amazon Spheres is not included in this tour. The Spheres are open to the public with reservations on the first and third Saturdays of the month. Make a free reservation here.
