Michael Bennett, the Seahawks legend and now budding designer, believes that architecture, design, and public works of art have the powerful potential to foster communion of one’s private emotions and ideas in a public setting. With the installation Converging Realms, he aims to inspire, encourage, and support the strategic design and (re)design of communities — structurally and socially — within the fabric of our society. Ask questions, be challenged, and help co-create a deeper community architecture not bound by walls and current norms.
Come learn more about the benefits, potential, and future of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) in designing our communities while also adding personal questions and feedback so we can collectively grow and deepen our collective mindfulness regarding structure of all types.
Materials: Vaagen Timbers
Hardware: Simpson Strong-Tie
