Building culture.
His buildings, sustainable design philosophy, and commitment to public art win the Westbank founder awards and kudos around the world, but at home he’s a polarizing figure.

A Visitor’s Guide to Seattle
Time well-spent in this city by the sea.
Just a quick jaunt from the Canadian border, the Pacific Northwestern city of Seattle, Washington, is well-situated for weekend visits and offers plenty for curious travellers to explore.
Ceramic Fortune
Aleksandra Pollner's porcelain fortune cookies.
Wedge, roll, cut, shape, repeat. That’s the mantra of Seattle-based artist-designer Aleksandra Pollner when she’s forming porcelain fortune cookies before they are kiln-fired.
Herbivore Botanicals
Au naturel.
In 2011, the Seattle kitchen of Alex Kummerow and Julia Wills temporarily became an apothecary while the duo searched for a solution to a skin irritation.
Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria
High-priority pie.
When the President of the United States comes calling, you answer. Even if that means arranging for a full-size, 1,800-kilogram Neapolitan pizza oven to be delivered to the tarmac of Washington’s Paine Field Airport so that you can personally cook for Barack Obama.
