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 a dialogue among 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.

On March 8, 2005 Space.City hosts a lecture by noted Dutch architect Michiel Riedijk of Neutelings Riedijk Architecten. The lecture will be held at Seattle Art Museum Auditorium, 100 University St., Seatttle.
Tickets are $10 in advance and are available through Peter Miller Books at 1930 1st Avenue in Seattle. Remaining tickes will be sold at the door for $15.
Dutch architect Michiel Riedijk and his partner, Willem Jan Neutelings, currently stand at the center of worldwide attention. They have created a practice committed to design excellence that develops powerful concepts into clear built form. They are known for combining urbanity and high density with a scope for peace and seclusion. Firmly ensconced in the international architecture scene, their lectures, exhibitions, and publications raise the banner of Dutch design culture.
Neutelings Riedijk Architecten has received numerous awards including selection for the 2004 Biennale of Venice. Their work has been shown in New York, Paris, Venice, Porto, Sao Paulo, Beijing, Barcelona, and Antwerp. A current exhibition at Netherlands Architecture Institute of 15 buildings from the period 1992-2003 coincides with the publication launch of their new monograph 'At Work. Neutelings Riedijk Architects' from 010 Publishers.
Advance tickets for Riedijk's lecture are $10 and are available at Peter Miller Books, 1930 1st Avenue, Seattle. Remaining tickets will be available at the door for $15.
