“Now you can learn about and enjoy the big redo at ground level… “<\/em> — The Seattle Times<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This technical book pairs vintage tokens of remembrance—like midcentury blueprints and construction photos—with modern renderings of the tower, giving context to Olson Kundig’s plan for the since-completed upper deck.”<\/em> — Architectural Digest<\/strong>
\nOriginally built for the 1962 World’s Fair, the Space Needle quickly became an international icon of the Pacific Northwest and a symbol of Seattle. At the time of its construction, the tower pointed the way toward the future with a sense of optimism, possibility, and invention. In its 55th year, the Space Needle is again representing an enhanced future with the Century Project, a holistic renovation of the upper levels led by Olson Kundig that repositions the iconic tower for its next fifty years. New Heights: Transforming Seattle’s Iconic Space Needle<\/em><\/strong> documents this latest chapter of the Space Needle’s story with an in-depth look at the innovations, challenges, and triumphs realized by the client and project team, as seen through the eyes of the architects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

A compelling narrative that describes the Century Project by Olson Kundig for the regeneration of the beloved Space Needle in Seattle, this takes you behind the scenes of how the work was achieved.<\/p>\n
