![]() ![]() Patrons won't have to put up with plastic cups, plus, these drink containers are technically compostable. Tiny umbrellas are not required, but are very much encouraged. So for all those folks out there questioning any idea that allows public alcohol (even on one day of the month in one neighborhood), I would like to add my proposal on top of the mayor's proposal for Pioneer Square: All alcoholic drinks travelling through Pioneer Square should be served in a pineapple. I noticed that nobody seemed to mind or question the pineapple much. I probably shouldn't admit this, but I would often walk off with that pineapple (once it was empty) and stroll through downtown Portland with a pineapple snack (I do not endorse walking around in public with full pineapple cocktails where it is illegal). There was one particular spot with outdoor seating where they served a cocktail in a pineapple. During this time, I learned an important lesson. ![]() Years ago, while I was living in Portland, the mayor at the time would open a keg at city hall during art walk days. In fact, cities like Bellevue and Renton have leaned in to sip 'n stroll events. There are so many, you can hit multiple towns in a week, or even have a very artful month. Just take a trip to any of the plethora of art walks scattered throughout our region. Add that up and the aim is to get more people on Pioneer Square streets, visiting local shops, galleries, and food trucks. Also bundled up in this proposal is a measure to relax some permitting rules to get more food carts down in the area. It will require a special permit from the state's Liquor and Cannabis Board. The hope is that this will produce some much-needed foot traffic by getting people to visit Pioneer Square and walk from gallery to gallery. So this is for one corner of the city, on one day of the month, targeted at the art gallery crowd. The idea here is to allow alcoholic beverages in Pioneer Square during its First Thursday Art Walk (hyped as being the longest-running art walk in the USA). Let's get something straight, because I'm sure there will be headlines and hot takes making it sound as if the mayor's office wants to open every downtown Seattle street to booze. Ever.Mayor Bruce Harrell wants folks to walk the streets of downtown Seattle, and open a cold one. You will get full access to divisare archive and you will help us keep the lights on.ĭivisare subscription is free for teachers & students No Ads. If you like what we’re doing, please Subscribe. No click - like - tweet - share, no advertising, banners, pop-ups. This is why Divisare is a place to perceive architecture slowly, without distractions. ![]() Instead of hastily perused information, we prefer knowledge calmly absorbed. Instead of a quick, distracted web, we want a slow, attentive one. Patient work, done with care, image after image, project after project, to offer you the ideal tool with which to organize your knowledge of contemporary architecture. Join us in taking a stand against the short attention architecture media.ĭivisare is the result of an effort of selection and classification of contemporary architecture conducted for over twenty years. It is a different idea of the web, which we might call slow web. banners, pop-ups or other distracting noise. No "click me," "tweet me, "share me,” "like me." No advertising. Behind all this there is the certainty that we can do better than the fast, distracted web we know today, where the prevailing business model is: "you make money only if you manage to distract your readers from the contents of your own site." With divisare we want to offer the possibility, instead, of perceiving content without distractions. A long, patient job of cataloguing, done by hand: image after image, project after project, post after post. Every Collection in our Atlas tells a particular story, conveys a specific viewpoint from which to observe the last 20 years of contemporary architecture. Our model was the bookcase, on whose shelves we have gathered and continue to collect hundreds and hundreds of publications by theme. So we began to build divisare not vertically, but horizontally. May be because we wanted to distinguish divisare from the web that is condemned to a sort of vertical communication, always with the newest architecture at the top of the page, as the "cover story," "the focus."Ĭontent that was destined, just like the oh-so-new architecture that had just preceded it a few hours earlier, to rapidly slide down, day after day, lower and lower, in a vertical plunge towards the scrapheap of page 2. ![]()
