Six of Spades

 

Notkin Mechanical Engineers invited several architecture firms to contribute to the design of a deck of playing cards, with the theme of 'Architecture in the Pacific Northwest.'

​

Goodspeed Architecture drew the Six of Spades, and reinterpreted them as arrowheads of obsidian, setting on slate, photographed under the characteristic soft light of a wet sky.

​

The collection of original artwork has been exhibited at Benaroya Hall and Seattle City Hall. Included in the above imagery is a sampling of other firms' cards as well.
