URBAN DESIGN SEATTLE (RE)FORMED The construction of Interstate 5 in the mid-1960s dramatically transformed the landscape of Seattle, segregating two halves of the city. Our team imagines the urban fabric restitched from Olive Way to just beyond Thomas Street. Using geological landforms as inspiration, we see the lid reconnecting the Capitol Hill, Cascade and Downtown neighborhoods while providing much needed affordable housing and recreation space for downtown residents.

I -5 LID PORTA L TH E C AV E CAV E / k ā v / : A cave is a hollow place in the ground, specifically a natural underground space large enough for a human to enter. N O D E D E SC R I P T I O N : The north entry portal evokes the sectional qualities of natural occuring landforms and the striations in the geology that form them. The edge of the cave also serves as a planted buffer for the housing beyond.
V ERTIC A L COMMONS TH E C R AG CRAG / k r a g / : A crag is a rocky hill or mountain, generally isolated from other high ground. Crags are formed when a glacier or ice sheet passes over an area that contains a particularly resistant rock formation. The force of the glacier erodes the surrounding softer material, leaving the rocky block protruding from the surrounding terrain. N O D E D E SC R I P T I O N : The Crag marks the intersection of the two street grids and serves as the vertical transition to the lid via the feature stair and elevator. It is an opportunity to create a multipurpose pedestrian experience, with micro retail and a vertical urban garden for public use.
CENTR A L GR EEN TH E A RC H ARC H / ärch /: A natural arch, natural bridge, or (less commonly) rock arch is a natural rock formation where an arch has formed with an opening underneath. NODE DES CRIP TION: The Arch serves as a link between the southern and northern halves of the site bisected by Denny Way. It curves out, like the prow of a ship and creates an outlook for views down Denny and to the Space Needle beyond.
SK Y LINE L A NDM A R K H OODOO TOW E R HOO DOO / ˈho o, do o / : A column or pinnacle of weathered rock. N O D E D E SC R I P T I O N : The Hoodoo Tower is an iconic landmark in the city skyline. It demarcates the lid location from other landmarks in the city and provides high density development to supplement the lid program. AY W VE OLI
