PLUS, don't forget that this year SAF and MOHAI are partnering with the Seattle Center Foundation to bring you a great historical and architectural walking tour of the Seattle Center. Make your reservations through MOHAI, today, because these tours are selling out!

When: June 16, 11am - 3pm
Where: The Digital Classroom located on the second floor of the Intiman Playhouse at Seattle Center.

The purpose of ARC.I.TEK is to engage and guide young Seattle citizens, grades one through twelve, in learning the process of architecture and design, developing their skill sets and assisting them to shape their vision of the future, ultimately empowering them to make a difference in Seattle. For the participants, it's a wonderful opportunity to HAVE FUN as they envision a 2062 Seattle World's Fair.
This is a competition. Entrants, ages 7 thru 18, will arrive at Seattle Center's Next Fifty Digital Classroom in the Intiman Playhouse on the second floor to attend a 4 hour workshop lead by industry design professionals. A brief review of the history and legacy of the 1962 Seattle World's Fair and Seattle Center will be covered, followed by a 3 hour design session for Seattle's young citizens to build architectural concept models as entries for their vision of a world's fair in 2062. Winners and prizes will be awarded in three age categories on October 21. Visit the Seattle Architecture Foundation website for more information. |

2012 Annual Model Exhibit |
Never fear, SAF's 15th model exhibit will take place. It just won't happen in June this year. The exhibit will take place during the Design Festival in September.
 We're still seeking the best
location. If you have an idea for a
free space with good visibility and
walk-by traffic in the South Lake
Union/Westlake area, please share
it with Program Director Aletheia Wittman. Thanks. |
