The Remarkable Construction of Seattle and the American Northwest

Seattle rises from a landscape where the city has never been separate from its surroundings. Framed by Puget Sound, lakes, forests and the constant presence of the mountains, its urban development has been shaped by the need to adapt to a geography as demanding as it is privileged. The video shows how this relationship with the environment has defined a port, industrial and technological city, able to grow vertically while preserving its connection to water and nature. Its bridges, avenues, piers, neighbourhoods and skyscrapers tell the story of a metropolis built around the balance between engineering, innovation and territory. Seattle emerges as a dynamic and unmistakable city, shaped by its landscape and by its own way of understanding progress.
