Design in Depth: Sports & Architecture
Wed, Jun 10 from 5pm - 7:30pm
It has been a landmark year for sports in Seattle, but the magic happens long before the first whistle blows. Have you ever wondered what truly makes a great sports venue, or how a massive stadium can actually serve the community it calls home?
Join us for an evening dedicated to the design of the "game day" experience. We’re bringing together two industry leaders to explore how we are reimagining the "living memorial" and the modern arena:
-
Doug Demers (HKS): Sharing insights on national trends and the creation of world-class, year-round experiential districts like the Washington Commanders' New Stadium.
-
David Kunselman (City of Seattle): Discussing the highly anticipated renovation of Seattle’s own Memorial Stadium and its role as a sustainable civic anchor.
From national design breakthroughs to the transformative projects in our own backyard, we’ll explore how thoughtful architecture turns a simple game into a lasting community legacy.
Whether you're an urbanist, a sports fan, or a design enthusiast, this is a conversation about the future of our city's fabric.
Continue the conversation and enjoy the views at our post-program rooftop reception.
