For the Seattle World’s Fair, Minuro Yamasaki was tapped to design the Science Pavilion complex, which included a number of arches.

While the pavilion is now home to the Pacific Science Center, Yamasaki’s arches and the surrounding buildings he designed remain essentially untouched since 1962.

Last weekend, I took my daughter there under dark grey skies.  When we were leaving, the clouds had parted to reveal a winter blue backdrop to Yamasaki’s work.
