Please describe the publication's mission and readership:
Our mission, across the converging universes of print, digital, and social media, is to inspire and educate an audience of emerging and established architects and designers, design enthusiasts, and allied professionals around these core values: design innovation, technical excellence, best business practices, and social and environmental responsibility.
Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
For this special online package, senior editor Wanda Lau and author David Hill revisited Seattle’s Bullitt Center, completed in 2013. One of the world’s most sustainable buildings, it became a certified Living Building in 2015. We wanted to report on how the design has succeeded and failed, and whether the building has in fact lived up to the hype. With art direction from Hanley Wood chief design director Aubrey Altmann and Architect art director Robb Ogle, interactive designer Justin Chick designed the lovely, fully responsive cascading page with an engaging full-width video introduction, mobile first responsive design, SVG animation, parallaxing, and interactive SVG charts. Design support came from Alexander Cortez and the water systems diagram was designed by Bryan Christie Design. Video direction and editing came from Hanley Wood head of video Lauren Honesty, with aerial footage shot by Corvus Eye Productions and all interviews and B-roll footage by Leeway Films. On the back end, the stunning page wasn’t possible without the development team’s use of Node.js build process, Object Oriented CSS (OOCSS), and dependency management via Bower & nam.
