Abstract:
South Lake Union Elementary is a design proposal situated on the northern outskirts of downtown Seattle, Washington. The school was designed with the concept of promoting social interaction between students, teachers, and the larger community in which they exist. The building seeks to influence the social interactions of the user through the design of the built environment. By providing spaces for the public, showcasing activity and successfully designing flexible, multi-use space South Lake Union Elementary fosters communication and collaboration amongst its users. The new public school is intended to be a mod& for the rapidly developing community through its environmentally responsible, and socially inclined design solution.
