Congratulations to Mithun’s own Chuck McDowell for being selected as one of three winners of the Twin Creeks Linear Park Design Competition! The proposal, “The Flyway,” was designed in collaboration with J. Liam Mahoney of Supermass Studio and presents a design focused on the preservation and restoration of monarch butterfly habitat, creating typologies for trailheads, street crossings, development nodes, and the residential interface throughout the park. The international design competition was launched by Kansas City, Missouri, to solicit visions for a new park that could stretch seven miles, include 1,000 acres and connect the predominantly rural Twin Creeks area to Kansas City’s extensive trails network and downtown.

We're excited to help Forterra NW spread the word about a survey looking at what millennials in the Pacific Northwest region think about the livability of this place, their part in it, and the future they see for themselves here. If you're between the ages of 20 and 35, please share your input! As a bonus, you could win a 3-day pass to Seattle's Bumbershoot Music Festival this Labor Day weekend! http://millennialsurvey.com/

As long-term supporters of Seattle’s waterfront, Mithun encourages King County residents to join us in voting NO on Initiative 123. I-123 represents a tremendous setback to the City’s inspiring vision for the new Seattle waterfront, which improves connections between downtown and the water, expands Pike Place Market and the Seattle Aquarium, and creates a new world-class public park following removal of the viaduct.

Now showing at Mithun’s Threshold Gallery through July 29: Faҫades + Drone Photogrammetry, works by Tivon Rice. The fascinating images in this exhibition represent Rice’s studies of Seattle’s rapid change. As many sites and landscapes in the city disappear, a new kind of visuality emerges. In Faҫades, these scenes and locations are explored through a digital process – photogrammetry – that generates a virtual 3D model from hundreds of two-dimensional photos that capture all possible perspectives. In Drone Triptychs, images are paired with texts created in collaboration with Google AMI (Artists and Machine Intelligence) to further explore a virtual or uncanny representation of Seattle’s image. We encourage you to visit and explore. For more information about the pieces on display: http://www.tivonrice.com/Tivon_Rice/Projects/Projects.html
