Olson Kundig and Metropolis: Think Tank
Olson KundigContrasting the Contextual:Designs Revitalizing Seattle’s Neighborhoods
Panelists include Tom Kundig; Kirsten R. Murray; Scott Redman, Sellen Construction; Karen True, Alliance for Pioneer Square. Two OK projects are featured as part of the discussion: 9th & Thomas and 74 S Jackson.
“There are no blank sites in architecture. Every building must inevitably engage with context: the layers of history, culture, and ecology embedded in and surrounding the site. Recent amplification of development activity in Seattle’s Pioneer Square and South Lake Union neighborhoods brings this issue to the fore. With historic preservation as background for the latter and the seemingly unstoppable technology boom rapidly transforming the former, how does responsible architecture balance context with growth? This panel of architects, developers, and community advocates will explore the topic through the lens of active projects and their contributions to a rich, urban experience for residents and workers alike.”
