As the workforce evolves with the new Generation Z, a new working mode is reimagined. As Gensler Seattle interns, we believe the future of work is all about learning. We learn by collaborating with those around us and finding mentorship that fosters curiosity. Moreover, we prioritize a workforce that prioritizes work-life balance, mental health support, personal development, diversity, equity, and inclusivity.
Citizen Z is driven by what we want in the future: an outpost that supports and sponsors knowledge beyond borders.
What if there is a space that is a community-fostered learning hub to form a new model of working?

Material Palette
With different states, countries, and continents, it is the ocean that connects us all. It is the ocean that guides all travelers, explorers, and learners to come together as one. As interns this summer, we united our backgrounds, stories, and passions to intersect at Gensler Seattle.
Our palette celebrates our inspiration from the ocean and the Pacific Northwest through shades of moss, slate, canary, and marmalade. Natural elements, coastal features, and sketch-like watercolor details form our palette to characterize us as individuals and as one.
