Tactile Tectonics: With the design of early childhood and K-12 learning environments, we take special care to detail moments of engagement. Small spaces for playing, sitting and reading are scattered throughout built and natural settings. Vertical and horizontal building slots invite exploration, and tree columns with smooth but irregular surfaces encourage touch and haptic learning. Shown here are diagrams and photos of the entry ‘kindow’ and spaces for sitting along the grand stair at Blakely Elementary School on Bainbridge Island. 📷: @k7scott

An original ‘Pier 56’ sign, once mounted above Seattle’s Alaskan Way, now resides above our multimedia maker space. This space is key to our collaborative process, which approaches design as an iterative, interdisciplinary conversation and employs a variety of tools in design exploration—from hand sketches and digital modeling to physical models and full-scale mock-ups. The maker space is part of a larger, highly active hub at the center of the pier where you can often find design crits and impromptu collaboration occurring throughout the day. 📷: @k7scott Swipe to see an historical view of the sign on Pier 56, circa 1964. 📷: unknown
