Introduction

buildllc — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 06:00:24 +0000

This is a modernist guide to Seattle. It is intended for the design conscious interested in experiencing modern architecture, design, art, food and culture.

The guide is data focused and has been designed as an instrument to be used for quick and concise reference. It’s simple format and straight-forward content allow for frequent and rapid updates.

Neither comprehensive or complete the modern list is, rather, a continual work in progress…
