Pioneer Square - Pergola

The neighborhood takes its name from a small triangular plaza near the corner of First Avenue and Yesler Way, originally known as Pioneer Place. The Pioneer Square-Skid Road Historic District, a historic district including that plaza and several surrounding blocks, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.




On January 15, 2001 an eighteen-wheeler semi-truck crashed into the pergola, shattering it into thousands of pieces; it has since been restored.

Some sketches:




 I've got some thoughts on these - the darkness and jumbled detail on a fairly light structure - there some purpose and intention to that - but my Capstone Thesis project has kept me busy and editorial content will have to wait.
