Design in Depth: The Redeveloped Waterfront

Tuesday, March 18 | 5:00 – 7:30PM | TICKETS

Please join the Seattle Architecture Foundation for our next Design in Depth panel discussion, highlighting the redeveloped waterfront. At the heart of this conversation is the following question: How do we design for multiple publics? The waterfront is a hub for residents, tourists, commerce, and vital marine ecosystems. How can we design a public open space that honors Seattle’s history while meeting the needs of today’s diverse communities?

Brief presentations from each panelist will be followed by a moderated discussion and time for audience Q&A. At the end, enjoy a light reception and the opportunity to chat with our panelists about their work on the waterfront.

RSVP HERE

 

This event is generously hosted by MITHUN at their office on Pier 56, and our reception is generously sponsored by Berger Partnership.
