DESIGN OF THE HIGH-RISE HOTEL BUILDING IN A HIGH SEISMIC ZONE IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON USA

Abstract

The project requires designing and planning for a 12-storey high-rise hotel Pacific Skyline Lodge at its location at 211 Fairview Ave N in Seattle Washington. This project arose from technical requirements and its essential design criterion needed to place the structure in an area with high seismic vulnerability. The city of Seattle was selected as the building site because it experiences prominent seismic activity in an evolving urban landscape. The Pacific Skyline Lodge project encompasses architectural design, structural and geotechnical engineering, environmental considerations, and construction management. Every specialized field contributes essential duties toward ensuring that the structure achieves an attractive appearance together with safety standards and environmental sustainability together with operational efficiency. The design team will apply specific attention to developing both seismic-resilience and sustainable construction techniques. The project intends to build a hotel integration within its natural environment which maintains compliance with current building regulations while demonstrating outstanding strength during seismic events. A multidisciplinary system in the design tackles realworld difficulties that support Seattle's urban growth and economic benefits for its cityscape.
