Green Drinks for September the 14th from 5-7pm

This month's Green Drinks will be in hosted by Chris & Linnea Covington who own Port Gardner Bay Winery a small boutique winery in downtown Everett, as well as their sister company Structural Design Associates. Linnea and Chris began purchasing more and more expensive wine as their palates improved over the years. A European engineer who was employed at Structural Design Associates made his own wine and had been doing so since he was a child. The Covington's tasted his wine and liked it. They began to investigate the art of wine making with a winemaker on their own staff to ask questions. In 2006 they produced 90 gallons of wine. Catch a glimpse about local wine brewing, here in Snohomish County at Port Gardner Bay Winery during Green Drinks.

Living City Design Competition in Everett - the Group is SUITE-WA

 

Living City Design Competition – entry deadline: February 1, 2011

SDTF is sponsoring the local design team: SUITE-WA a newly formed collaborative design team in Everett, WA. The group's organizer, Gary Purves, states their goal is to develop a fully landscaped architectural model and competition entry by the Feb. 1 deadline. The urban redesign encompasses a six block area of Everett’s downtown core and will reflect the vision of the International Living Building Institute and partner organization: The National Trust for Historic Preservation.

The project design will incorporate a suite of design solutions including:

• pedestrian aligned mixed-use development
• captured precipitation for a net-zero water community
• on-site waste-water treatment and renewable energy systems
• an integrated urban agricultural element

A regional light rail system and local circulating trolleys will ensure equal access and mobility for all citizens and enable a car-free community.

The competition’s intention is for design teams to imagine a living city as it might appear twenty five years in the future, an urban fabric of living and open space that celebrates nature and our innate attraction to natural elements: our biophilia.

 

The proposed built environment will reflect this imperative through inclusion of a variety of environmental features, natural patterns and place-based relationships, while beauty and spirit will inspire the team’s human scale design.

SUITE-WA needs to raise sufficient funds to cover the cost of the entry fee, materials and supplies for the project, printing fees, poster development, graphic illustration, and animation expenses. Those interested in assisting with in-kind donations to fulfill some of these needs should contact Gary at gp.suitewa@gmail.com without delay.

 

Interested in assisting with fundraising, or would like to offer financial support, mail your tax-deductible donation to SDTF @ PO Box 844 Everett, WA. 98206. Please forward this article to others who would be interested in supporting SUITE-WA in the Design Competition. Questions or for more information call 425-422-5656
