Frameworks for Progressive Living: Envisioning New Architecture in Seattle

Points of View
Written By David Quicksall

 I was at the Center to attend the opening reception for the exhibition of Boliglaboratorium: A Danish Housing Lab. As I entered the space carrying the aforementioned mental baggage, I found myself surrounded by action words that were at odds with how I was feeling—words like develop, transform, promote, support, and build. I then found myself embraced by concepts that were contrary to how I felt about our nation’s current political situation—words like diversity, multi-generational, non-profit, mixed housing, social life, synergy, and interaction. I actually relaxed…took a breath…shook off the cold…and immersed myself in the warm world of Scandinavian design.
