“The Center for Wooden Boats has been a beloved gathering place on Seattle’s Lake Union since 1976, and its new Olson Kundig–designed building, the Wagner Education Center, raises its visibility. We designed the signage and donor recognition panels to complement the structure’s industrial material palette of wood and steel. Building signage appears in cut steel. The interpretive signage was directly printed onto wood and provides information for each of the boats hanging in the exhibit, along with personal stories of the people who built or owned them. The steel donor panels wrap steel columns throughout the space; look closely at each panel background, and you’ll discover the favorite sailing waters of each donor.”
