Space.City is an independent not for profit organization dedicated to spirited public discussion of art, architecture, urbanism and cultural issues in the spatial arts.

We are based in Seattle, WA .

Organized by a handful of volunteers and registered as a not-for-profit organization, Space.City is an independent architectural group.

Our focus and purpose is to inspirit the art and architecture dialogue in our city. We sponsor lectures and other events of interest to architects, artists, and others involved in the culture of our city.

As an information hub for Seattle's architectural community and to keep our community active, Space.City maintains an email list to communicate local arts and architecture events. By this network we support Seattle's other architectural groups and design organizations -- A:BC (Action Better City), AIA and AIGA, Cornish, DocoMomo, Henry Gallery and other museums, Suyama Space and other alternative galleries, Seattle Architecture Foundation, and UW School of Architecture. We welcome new members and encourage involvement. Subscription is free. Join us.

Space.City has a four year history of hosting architectural lectures and other cultural events in Seattle. Since our formation in 1997, Space.City has presented talks by more than a dozen artists and architects whose ideas and contributions cover the spectrum of creative and critical thinking today. The colorful list includes Shigeru Ban, Gunther Behnisch, Yung Ho Chang, Brad Cloepfil, Toyo Ito, Daniel Libeskind, Greg Lynn, Anthony Pellecchia, Gaetano Pesche, John Stamets and William Zahner. We have also hosted numerous informal discussion 'salons', three urban design forum with Seattle's former mayor Paul Schell, and two panel style symposia, "Libraries of the Future" and "Surrogate Bodies".
