Post-Conference Tours
Tour 1 ‘Community Gathering Places’ -- by Pomegranate Center
Based in Issaquah, WA, Pomegranate Center is a non-profit community
design and development organization helping communities utilize
their unique gifts to become more vibrant and humane. Projects
by Pomegranate Center integrate social, artistic and environmental
perspectives into: the creation of meaningful gathering places,
constructive and inclusive community-based planning, educational
programs, research and training. The projects include planning
and design of gathering places, parks, neighborhood focal points,
community trails, and public artworks that contribute to community
distinction, vitality, and social interaction. The tour will visit
examples of ‘Gathering Places’ created by the Center.
Tour 2 Bradner Garden Park
A park where community grows--a place where people of all ages, cultures and
abilities can recreate and learn about urban gardening and the environment in
a park that is salmon-friendly and encourages water and resource conservation.
Bradner Garden Park is a grand example of citizen activism at work. After a two-year
battle with city hall, citizens and activists drafted an initiative that became
Initiative #42 Protect Our Parks. Initiative #42 became a City of Seattle ordinance
in 1997, which saved Bradner from non-park development and has helped other neighborhoods
around the city fight unnecessary encroachments to parkland. Construction of
Bradner Garden Park began in 1998. The last stage was completed in 2003, featuring
a Children’s Garden, P-Patch, native plant habitats, and design/build work by
UW Architecture students.
Tour 3 UW Landscape Architecture Community Design/build Projects
Featured in New York Times and Landscape Architecture Magazine, the design/build
studio in the Department of Landscape Architecture at UW is a nationally recognized
program. Developed in 1995 by Associate Professor Daniel Winterbottom, the program’s
philosophy is that the art of landscape architecture is not complete without
the act of building and that through their involvement in both design and construction,
students develop a balance between the conceptualizing and the making of their
design. In an attempt to make the projects meaningful to the communities, the
program has developed an inclusive participatory design process in which community
members participate in the conceptualizing and design processes, to create places
that are meaningful to all users. The tour will visit recent projects completed
by students.
