Interested in Architecture and Design from the Past, The Present and in the Future?

From my inbox: Two messages about events celebrating architecture and design, one local and one in California.

Here in Seattle, The Seattle Architectural Foundation Tours are on again for the season: From the Seattle Architectural Foundation newsletter:

“Weekday Tours Program Launched

Greatest Hits: Seattle Architecture Highlights is an encore presentation of some of downtown’s most talked-about buildings. The two-hour tour showcases everything from “golden oldies” like the Norton Building to “chart-toppers” like the world-famous Seattle Central Library. The two-hour walking tour begins at 10:00am every Thursday at Seattle Architecture Foundation.

COMING SOON: SAF’s popular Art Deco tour will be offered at 10:00am every Friday at Seattle Architecture Foundation.

In addition to these regular weekday tours, there’s still room on these upcoming saturday guided walking tours. Register for tours online.
