  • Stadium District Concept Plan December 2012
    CREATE COMMUNITY THROUGH COMMON . GOALSSTADIUM DISTRICT CONCEPT PLAN DECEMBER 2012 Washington State Major League Baseball Stadium Public Facilities District Washington State Public Stadium Authority Dear Friends and Neighbors: As members of the two volunteer public boards created to manage and protect the public’s investment in Safeco Field and CenturyLink Field and Event Center, we are pleased to offer for your consideration this Stadium District Concept Plan. The plan represents our vision for what a Stadium District might become, over a ten-year period and beyond, to dramatically and positively impact its neighborhood. The plan was prepared in the context of breathtaking changes now underway for the central downtown waterfront, major new development in the North Lot at CenturyLink Field, and other opportunities in the historic neighborhoods of Pioneer Square, Chinatown/ International District, and SODO. The introduction of a possible new arena in the District adds to the significance of our effort. What we offer is not a finished plan or a fixed blueprint for the future. It is an initial concept that the Public Stadium Authority and Public Facilities District, along with the Seattle Mariners, Seahawks, and Sounders FC believe to be the essential elements of a successful stadium district—one that is economically successful, safe, desirable, innovative, inviting and irresistibly fun to live in and visit. This Stadium District Concept Plan states our core values and the guiding principles adopted by both boards after completing several workshops attended by members of the two boards and representatives of the three teams. Our work was facilitated, and the plan was drafted, by ZGF Architects LLP and AECOM.

  • Seattle's Space Needle Debuts Dramatic 360-Degree “Spacelift”
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, August 2, 2018 CONTACT: Dave Mandapat, Public Relations [email protected] Desk: 206-905-2164 Cell: 206-605-8637 SEATTLE’S SPACE NEEDLE DEBUTS DRAMATIC 360-DEGREE “SPACELIFT” and WORLD’S FIRST REVOLVING GLASS FLOOR Wall, barriers – even floors – removed and replaced with structural glass reveal stunning, never-before-seen views SEATTLE, WA – Thursday, August 2, 2018 – The Space Needle, one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks, is unveiling a dramatically different visitor experience employing a modern twist on the ingenuity and innovation of the original 1962 World’s Fair build. Renovation of the 605-foot-tall structure features technology and products simply not available at the time of construction. Walls, barriers – even floors – have been removed and replaced with structural glass revealing a visceral experience the visionary designers of the Space Needle could only dream of. The new, multi-level tower features the world’s first, and only, revolving glass floor delivering wide-open views as guests float above Seattle. The completely reimagined Space Needle experience dramatically expands views of Mount Rainier, Elliott Bay, the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges and features several “firsts,” thanks to a $100 million private investment. The upper and lower levels are now unified by a cantilever grand staircase, the Oculus Stairs, creating a new destination that embodies the spirit of possibility Seattle is known for. With 196% more glass than before, including the use of ten different varieties, designers have created an immersive adventure opening up the awe- inspiring beauty of the Puget Sound region. “This reinvestment ensures the long-term viability of the Space Needle,” said Ron Sevart, CEO, Space Needle.

  • Seattle's Waterfront
    WELCOME! SEATTLE IS A DYNAMIC CITY, AND WE ARE HAPPY TO PROVIDE YOU A GUIDE TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR FIRST TIME IN OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY. READ ON FOR INFORMATION ON: Know Before You Go How To Get Around Space Needle Pike Place Market Seattle From The Sea Seattle’s Waterfront Pioneer Square KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Seattle is a compact and immensely walkable city. Bring comfortable shoes! The culinary scene is varied. Most people think seafood, and that’s fine, but with its location on the Pacific Rim, use this opportunity to sample flavors not common in other parts of the country. Thai, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese cuisines are common and wonderful! It does rain here. However, it’s rarely all day and almost never hard enough to actually affect most plans. Many people find layers the most comfortable way to deal with our changing weather conditions. It doesn’t rain ALL the time. Summers, after about July 5th, are usually warm and mostly dry. Starbucks is on every corner. Don’t get sucked in. You can have Starbucks at home. Seattle is a coffee-crazed city and there are numerous small shops and roasters that will give you a memorable cup of coffee, so explore. Moore Coffee, Cherry Street, and Elm Coffee Roasters are all centrally located and wonderful, and just a small sample of the excellent coffee this town has to offer. Insider’s Tip: Many of the activities listed here are covered under Seattle’s CityPass program. Save money and time by purchasing in advance! HOW TO GET AROUND Seattle is super easy to navigate, and for ease and to save money, we don’t recommend a rental car for our downtown, belltown, and capitol hill homes.

  • Appendix 2, Walking Tour
    APPENDIX 2 Tour of Seattle Center Century 21 Exposition These notes were adapted from a walking tour for participants of the Teacher Workshop held on August 29, 2011. This is a great starting point for a short tour for your students. A set of photographs are included as a separate folder. It is recommended that tour leaders make 11" x 17" copies of the photos and laminate them so they can be viewed during the walking tour. You will also want to have a copy of the 1962 Seattle Center Map which is included in the photo folder. Meet outside the Center House near Starbucks Coffee. This brief tour will take 15–20 minutes and will highlight several key buildings at the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair from several central vistas. STOP 1 Center House/Food Circus/ Washington State National Guard Armory (Walk out far enough to see the main door and name.) This building, originally the Washington National Guard Armory, was one of several on the fair site that pre-existed the fair and were repurposed for use during the fair. During the fair it was called the Food Circus. It contained 52 food concessions, a 39-foot 12.5 ton fruitcake, a first-aid center, a baby-care facility, changing rooms for fair employees, and offices. The glass elevator called the Bubbleator was moved from the Coliseum to the Food Circus after the fair and was removed in 1980. STOP 2 “Everyone turn around and look up” (Continue to stop periodically and view the Space Needle as people who visited Century 21 would have done.) The Space Needle’s roof was originally painted orange.

  • Experience Prototyping for Automotive Applications
    EXPERIENCE PROTOTYPING FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS DISSERTATION an der Fakultät für Mathematik, Informatik und Statistik der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München vorgelegt von Diplom-Medieninformatiker SEBASTIAN LÖHMANN München, den 22. Januar 2015 iii Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Andreas Butz Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Albrecht Schmidt Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 18. März 2015 iv v ABSTRACT In recent years, we started to define our life through experiences we make instead of objects we buy. To attend a concert of our favorite musician may be more important for us than owning an expensive stereo system. Similarly, we define interactive systems not only by the quality of the display or its usability, but rather by the experiences we can make when using the device. A cell phone is primarily built for making calls and receiving text messages, but on an emotional level it might provide a way to be close to our loved ones, even though they are far away sometimes. When designing interactive technology, we do not only have to answer the question how people use our systems, but also why they use them. Thus, we need to concentrate on experiences, feelings and emotions arising during interaction. Experience Design is an approach focusing on the story that a product communicates before implementing the system. In an interdisciplinary team of psychologists, industrial designers, product developers and specialists in human-computer interaction, we applied an Experience Design process to the automotive domain. A major challenge for car manufacturers is the preservation of these experiences throughout the development process. When implementing interactive systems engineers rely on technical requirements and a set of constraints (e.g., safety) oftentimes contradicting aspects of the designed experience.
