Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle History

The idea of creating a park for contemporary sculpture in Seattle grew from a discussion in 1996 between Seattle Art Museum director (and wife ofWilliam Gates Sr.) Mimi Gardner Gates and Martha Wyckoff while Wykoff, being a trustee of the Trust for Public Land, soon after began an effort to identify possible locations for the park.A $30 million gift from Mary and Jon Shirley (former COO of Microsoft and Chairman of the Seattle Art Museum Board of Directors) established them as foundational donors. The Olympic Sculpture Park soon evolved from the commitment of the Seattle Art Museum and the Trust for Public Land to preserve Seattle's last undeveloped waterfront property. In 1999, the museum purchased property on Seattle's waterfront from Union Oil of California (UNOCAL) with private and public funding. SAM later acquired an additional property (10 Broad St.) with the support of the City of Seattle and King County and leased part of the Alaskan Way right-of-way to create complete accessiblity to the waterfront. In 2001 SAM selected WEISS /MANFREDI architecture to design for SAMs Olympic Sculpture Park. The Architecture Award. Harvard University Graduate School of Designs Ninth Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design went to Weiss/Manfredi for the Seattle Waterfront Project. Their design was choosen because it expressed an integration of landscape, architecture and urban design. The Veronica Rudge Green Prize in Urban Design is awarded every two years by the GSD to recognize excellence in urban design. The entrys include projects from all around the world that emphasize their contributions to the public realm of a city and improvement of the quality of urban life. The prize has previously honored major projects in Amsterdam, Rio de Janeiro, Barcelona, Aleppo, Mexico City and Tokyo by such leading designers as Sir Norman Foster, Fumihiko Maki, West 8 and Alvaro Siza.

Vision Statement: Words from the design team, SAM

7As a cultural endeavor, this sculpture park circumvents the typical relationship of art inside the museum and offers a radical alternative: art and design as part of the public realm. We wondered what transformation would capitalize on the urban infrastructure that divided the site. How could this park generate new relationships between the city and Puget Sound? How might this project illuminate the immeasurable power of art and landscape together? The genesis of our design originated with these questions. Our design, an invented ground plane that wanders from the city to the waters edge, is sculpted to rise over the existing infrastructure. This new, uninterrupted Z-shaped landform for sculpture links the three separate parcels and offers multiple settings to view both city and sound. Central to this landform is a 2,200-foot path that leads visitors from a luminous steel-and-glass pavilion for art, performances and educational programming, through a series of outdoor sculpture galleries. The path links three emblematic landscapes: the Valley, an archetypal evergreen landscape of the Northwest; the Grove, with deciduous trees adaptable to the urban environment;and the Shore, a waterfront setting shaped by wind and saltwater and As one traverses this path, views are directed north toward the sea and mountains and then south toward the city and port. Throughout the park, seemingly parallel lines converge, accentuating the laws of perspective to suggest Our fundamental aspiration was to create a sculpture park at the intersection of the . Our intent was to establish connections where separations existed, inventing a setting that brings art, city and sound together - implicitly questioning where the art begins and where it ends.

At the site of Seattles largest and last remaining waterfront property, the Seattle Art Museums Olympic Sculpture Park transforms a nine-acre former industrial site into a vibrant new venue for contemporary sculpture. Formerly a fuel storage and transfer station, the site fell 40 feet from the city to the water and was divided by highway and train lines into three separate parcels. With such a complex site, traditional distinctions between art and nature, design and ecology were no longer relevant. At the Olympic Sculpture Park, art, architecture, landscape architecture, infrastructure and ecology are reciprocal conditions embedded within the trajectory of our design. Our ambition was to exploit the friction of combining these disciplines to foster new insights and perceptions.


Concept

As part of constructing the sculpture park, 5.7 million dollars were spent transforming 1,000 feet (300 m) of the seawall and underwater shoreline inside Myrtle Edwards park. A three level underwater slope was creattract sealife and large kelp. It is hoped that this recreated strand will help revitalise juvenile salmon from the Duwamish River and serve as a test for future efforts.

Structure

20Pavilion Pavilion: The Paccar Pavilion is located at the main entrance to the park. The 11,000 sq. ft. pavilion houses a caf and space for exhibits and public events. There is a 22,000 sq.ft. of parking space below. There is an outside amphitheater, with descending grass terraces outside the pavilion doors. Path The path consist of a 2,200-foot Z-shaped path that joins three parcels of land above a street and railroad tracks. The path slopes down toward Elliott Bay. The park has four distinct landscapes: the valley, grove, shore and meadow. Two Bridges The two bridges merge with the continuous Z path. The path creates locations to view and contemplate the art, city and bay. Elliott Bridge consists of a dramatic V shape and features a series of continuous concrete seats that provide places to enjoy the view. The BNSF Bridge rises 26 feet above the train tracks and provides a stretch of lawn and concrete steps. Cloud Cover(2004-06), a laminated glass walkway, covers the south path over the tracks. Art The park opened with 21 installations but now inlcudes spaces for over 30. Landscape There is an integratation of native plants and sculptured soils to create natural drainage on the site. Dense native vegetation helps to retain rainfall above the soil surface. Native plants are the visible and re-establishthe landscape from upland to shoreline in four distinct precincts: Valley, Grove, Meadows and Shore.

The pavillion is designed in a way to allow maximum amount of light in with the use of glass and steel. The open spaces within the pavillion create less of a transistion from interior to exterior.

The materials used on the pavilion interact with the site throughout the day. The transparent materials let natrual light in during the lighting from the nightlife.

Massing

The plan and the elevation of the park look similar due to the forty foot eleation change that takes place from the pavillion to the beach. The plan for the park to have the Z-shaped green platform came from teh architects wanting to create a continuous surface that unfolds as a landscape for art, wandering from teh city across highway and rail lines to reach the waters edge.

Plan to Section/Elevation

26The primary circulation path is the Z-shaped path which stretches from the pavilion across the lower infrastructure to the beach and creates layers of circulation in the process. Off this path there are secondary paths that guests can visit. The park also has 12 entrances guests can access the park from. This variation of entrances and paths create a variety of expierences for users. An exhibition pavilion provides space for art, performances and educational programming. From this pavilion, the pedestrian route descends to the water, linking three types of landscapes: a dense evergreen forest, a deciduous forest and a shoreline garden. The design brings sculpture outside of the museum walls and the park itself into the landscape of the city. Many linkages have been created through this park design including that between art and the city, the city and nature, and organic and inorganic form. The park stretches over a highway while offering views of the Olympic Mountains, another linkage crosses the train tracks offering views of the city, and another linkage descends to the water offering views of the newly created beach.

Exterior The park brings a relaxing atmosphere to a busy city. The buildings on the park site are positioned in a manner to create a large open space throughout the majority of the park. This open space creates a sense of safety which adds to the day and night use. Interior As for the interior of the building, the use of transparent materials in comparision to solid, gives a sense of beign outdoors when inside. The double height spaces bring light in and also give the building a sense of lightness from the exterior views.

Park HistoryThe rst public park within the city limits of Seattle was Denny Park - a gift to the city by David T. Denny in 1884. In 1887, the Board of Park Commissioners was established to oversee development of the Seattle park system. Seattle Parks Commissioners hired the famed Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture rm in 1903 to design a comprehensive system of parks and boulevards for the city. The Olmsted Plan for Seattles parks spurred the early development of the Seattle park system and has been the basis of our modern day park system. Much of Seattle Park history was documented by Donald N. Sherwood (1916-1981). The Seattle Parks and Recreation's Sherwood History Files is the incredible legacy of Sherwood, who worked as an engineer for Parks for 22 years from 1955 to 1977.
