I´m a lucky landscape architect student that got the opportunity to do an exchange semester in North America. During the semester, I’m going to visit as many places and cities as my wallet can afford and share those experiences on this blog, all from street views to nice spots.

Seattle
Downtown
A stunning view from the Seattle waterfront. The sea and the mountains are seen in the background.
Seattle
Seattle Center
The international Fountain. It´s amazing how huge the area around the fountain is, likewise the ornament in the middle. How small the people look in comparison to the fountain just attracted my attention.Experience Music Project. An interesting building, the shape and the colour are very expressive.
A pice of the area outside of the building is painted in a playful pattern, which bring more livefullness to the hardscaped surface.
Sticks in a row screen off the area effectively from the parking space. I like the transparency the stick origins, instead of using a dense wall and also how the colours blends with the sky.
Neat sitting area. The blue colour of the benches ads a creative detail to the minimalistic design. I like it!
A glass statue, maybe to symbolize a juniper. Artwork is something that Seattle seem to use a lot of in their urban design. My experience was that they often where made in a glass material.
Another artwork. I like the colour of it and the fact that path windings through it which gives the visitor chance to experience it in different levels.
Seattle
Transit
About the transit system again, but this
time in Seattle. I was fascinated again. But this time because the busses and
the light train shared platform. They probably shared trail too, which I never
seen before. I just seem so clever to be able to use the space for more then one
transit system.
Handy to have busses which are able to transport your bike, when it's to far or you just are to tiered to bike home.
Bike lane along the beautiful waterfront and some nice chairs to rest on when you need a break.

Seattle
I went to Seattle during the reading week.
The transit system at the airport really impressed me. The train was running
every 5 minutes, which made it so easy to access the other terminals. It was also driverless, which are uncommon in Sweden and made the trip even more exciting...
