Design on the Edge: Nature and Technology in Northwest Residential Design

September 18-22, 2024 | Seattle, WA

25 LUs anticipated | HSW TBD

Welcome to the frontier. Design in the Pacific Northwest (NW) is shaped by the convergence of the high-tech and the natural. Its economy and clientele are powered by tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft and there is a start- up spirit that inspires the design community to push the envelope. At the same time, living amid the region's mountains, forests and waters has honed its sensitivity to site and sustainability. Since at least the middle of last century, architects in the northwest have sought ways to connect with the environment through form, space, and materiality. Today, leading practitioners are testing more sustainable construction materials like mass timber and cross-laminated timber (CLT's), exploring new design tools, and experimenting with innovative zoning.

Early bird registration ends Sunday, August 18. Register today >

Hotel Accommodations

The CRAN® room block is from September 18-22. The symposium will be held at the Westin Seattle and you are encouraged to reserve your room(s) before they sell out.  Visit the CRAN symposium event page to reserve your room >

If you need rooms prior to the start of the symposium you may book from September 18^th to departure and then book outside of our block for September 17^th and the hotel will merge the rooms.

The hotel registration page states that there are no rooms available. It looks like specifically Sept 18 has no rooms. I tried calling the hotel phone number and the call wouldn't go through. It rang until it just hung up.

Hi Susan,

Hope you are the right person to ask about the Westin Hotel.  I received a message that there will be a Hotel Union strike in Seattle soon, and one of the hotels is the Westin.  

Have they said what would be the backup plan for the conference room if the strike happens during the Symposium? 

Luckily due to their rooms unavailable on the 18th, I booked my room at Hotel Max, next door to the Westin.  Should we be ready to cancel our reservations if the strike happens?

Thanks,

Maria Walker
