Instead of writing papers, architecture students at the University of Washington completed their senior requirements by working to solve problems in Fall City.
Thirteen students spent 12 weeks this spring talking with community members, brainstorming changes and proposing a series of enhancements through a program called StoreFront Studio.
For Fall City, the university students designed additions to open spaces, a farmer’s market, pedestrian bridges, bathrooms and renovations to many existing businesses.
