Seattle Cultural Center by Gustafson Guthrie Nichol LtdSchematic plan for redeveloping eight blocks in the heart of Seattle's cultural center.
The plan includes: a 'Clean, Green, and Grand' streetscape design, to make way-finding easier and the streetscape more inviting during the day; architectural modifications to what was once the 'back side' of 1962 World's Fair buildings; traffic modifications to maintain arterial function of Mercer Street while increasing safety and comfort of pedestrians; and a grand lighting scheme to create a timeless, site-specific, and unifying identity for the world-class arts venues in the District.
The lighting scheme, 'Planes of Light,' evokes the imagery of colorfully lit theater districts in a method that reveals no visible light fixtures.
Light is not an agglomeration of objects but a transformation of existing surfaces to be planes of color and light.
