Architectural Meditation

Have you seen the innovative James Turrell Skyspace art installation, “Light Reign,” at the University of Washington’s Henry Art Gallery? No? Check out the defining architectural masterpiece for quiet contemplation. See its LED-studded glass walls light up at night, or watch the sunlight cast reflections across its open-air interior. Skyspace is open Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Learn more about the Skyspace experience from the Seattle Weekly.

Look Up

Whether you’re looking for a fun outing this summer for you and your spouse, your kids or visitors to the city of Seattle, we think the Seattle Architecture Foundation’s informative, guided walking tours are  a pretty neat way to get to know our surroundings.

Some neat upcoming tours include: “Let the Streets be your Museum,” a tour of the city’s best public and privately funded art (stops include Freeway Park and the Washington State Convention and Trade Center) on June 12 and “Window on Seattle’s Style,” an exploration of design elements of buildings ranging from English Gothic to brutalism and from Beaux Arts to Modernism (stops include Plymouth Congregational Church, the Financial Center and Fairmont Olympic Hotel) on July 1.

Find out why Seattle Met magazine named the SAF’s Tours one of 26 perfect ways to spend your Saturday.

Tours last approximately two hours and begin at the SAF Gallery, 1333 5th Ave, 3rd Floor, Rainier Square Atrium. Advance registration strongly encouraged. For more information, visit Seattle Architecture Foundation.
