| Summary: | Originally 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' 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. |
