The Albert Apartments, Williams Avenue (image via Ruben J. Menashe, Inc.) BY BRIAN LIBBY Today perhaps like no other street in Portland, Williams Avenue embodies the ups and downs of density and development in historic neighborhoods.

Portland Playhouse BY MATTHEW HENDERSON The community initiative to save the vacated St. Paul/Gethsemane church at NE Eighth and Failing and turn it into a non-profit community center has met its end. But around Portland there has quietly assembled a host of former churches (or Xhurches, as my blog calls them) now hosting a variety of artistic and neighborhood endeavors. Gethsemane will instead be given to another church, one currently attended …

"Inversion: Plus Minus" (photo by Rich Rano) BY RICH RANO The Central Eastside resides as one of Portland?s industrial sanctuaries with an established goal to evolve its uses while maintaining the close-in manufacturing core for the many makers, producers, and creators who make up much of the city?s identity. But while the zoning hasn't changed, the Central Eastside always has continued to do …

Zidell Yards (rendering courtesy ZGF) BY BRIAN LIBBY Last Friday in Atlantic Cities, I wrote about the Zidell Yards development and its master plan by ZGF Architects. "Despite its size, Zidell Yards seeks to be a macro development comprised of many different micro-sized parts," the story went, "an urban space of tranquil greenery, or a park disguised as a vibrant city." As a follow-up, …

Vestas headquarters (photo by Brian Libby) BY BRIAN LIBBY For more than four years now, the economy and architects' role in it has seemed to be partially recovered from the lowest depths of 2007 and 2008's catastrophes, yet unable to reach anything close to full throttle.
