Historic Seattle and Seattle Architecture Foundation presents:Art Deco to Modernism: Interwar Architecture in the Pacific Northwest The period between the two world wars was one of economic and social turmoil, but also one of great creativity in art, architecture and the decorative arts. With outstanding scholars and authors, Historic Seattle takes a look at some of the leading figures in the development of regional architecture and interiors in the period between 1918 and 1940. By the 1930s, these architects were being drawn by streamlined “modern” and international modernism. This program consists of a full day of four lectures with a box lunch break at the Chapel at Good Shepherd Center on Saturday, March 19, preceded by an exclusive reception at additional cost on Friday evening, March 18 on the top floors of the iconic Northern Life Tower (now Seattle Tower) and followed by a Sunday of optional guided and self-guided tours of the Art Deco buildings discussed in the lecture program on Saturday.
