Clyfford Still Museum (photo by Jeremy Bitterman) BY BRIAN LIBBY Two local firms already quite familiar with winning AIA Design Awards from the Portland chapter of the American Institute of Architects, Allied Works and Skylab Architecture, walked away with the top prize at a ceremony held October 26.

Art DeMuro (image courtesy Venerable Properties) BY FRED LEESON Portland has been blessed with several architectural preservationists over the years. Eric Ladd, who died in 2000, is often recognized as the first, with his efforts to help move the Kamm house and plans for his never-completed Ladd Colony in the 1960s. Then one can turn to architects George McMath, father of the Portland Historic …

(image courtesy Portland Sustainability Institute) BY JULIETTE BEALE Last week marked the third annual Ecodistricts Summit, a gathering of planners, policy analysts, architects, engineers, academics, and students interested in learning or sharing more about sustainable community building. This year?s topics included sustainable neighborhoods, district development, energy planning and district/community financing, with case studies from Holland, Switzerland, Australia, and Seattle.

Schoolchildren visiting the mural in 1970 (photo courtesy Tanya March) BY TANYA MARCH AND VAL BALLESTREM In 1959, architect and artist Will K. Martin, of the Eugene firm Wilmsen & Endicott, won a design competition for the entrance wall to the new Portland Zoological Gardens. Martin?s design, a 50-foot long mosaic mural, was the background for a freestanding sculptural ?tree of life? and shallow fountain pool. In …

(Image courtesy PoSI) BY MATHANGI MURTHY This week from October 23 to 26th, the Portland Sustainability Institute will host the third EcoDistricts Summit. It is one of the few annual conference dedicated to district-scale sustainability initiatives. I recently spoke to Naomi Cole, the EcoDistricts Program Director of PoSI about the Summit, the EcoDistricts movement and what it has to offer this year. Portland Architecture: Tell me about this week?s …

Lan Su Chinese Garden (photo by Brian Libby) BY BRIAN LIBBY "Most cherished in this mundane world is a place without traffic," reads a poem by 16th century poet Wen Zhengming inscribed in a rock formation at Portland's Lan Su Chinese Garden. "Truly in the midst of the city there can be mountain and forest." The quote seems fitting for my visit to the …

Pittock Mansion (photo by Brian Libby) BY FRED LEESON As Portland notes the 50th anniversary of the Columbus Day Storm this month, it?s worth noting that the record high winds on October 12, 1962, indirectly led to public purchase of perhaps the city?s best-known and best-loved residences: the Pittock Mansion. Unlike the high winds that damaged the Pittock and thousands of other buildings that …

Graham Towers (image courtesy Path Architecture) BY BRIAN LIBBY I hope you didn't think tonight, tomorrow or this weekend was the time to stay home, watching football in your sweats and eating fatty food. (Oops, that was supposed to be my interior monologue.) Instead, how about listening this evening to one of the city's best architects describe his vision? Or seeing homes by …

Philip Sydnor (image courtesy Integrate Architecture & Planning) BY LUKE AREHART The next installment in our continuing series features Portland architect Philip Sydnor of Integrate Architecture & Planning. Since moving to Portland in 2001, Sydnor has worked with local firms Richard Brown Architect and Clark Kjos Architects, working on notable local hospitals like Good Samaritan Hospital in Corvallis, Wallowa Hospital in Enterprise, and …

Bud Clark Commons, 2011 AIA award winner (photo by Brian Libby) BY BRIAN LIBBY What does October mean to you? Maybe it's about football season kicking into high gear. Maybe you're keen to stay outdoors before the rains arrive. Maybe you're caught up in the presidential race, or busy hanging Halloween decorations with your kids. But autumn is also when the arts kick …

Downtown Portland (photo by Brian Libby) BY BRIAN LIBBY In a ceremony last week at the Multnomah Athletic Club, Portland Mayor Sam Adams challenged a gathering of BOMA Oregon?s leading commercial building owners and managers (the organization represents over 30 million square feet of commercial real estate) to participate in the 2012 Kilowatt Crackdown, a two-year energy benchmarking competition for Portland metro-area commercial buildings. As part of the City of Portland and …

PCC Newberg (photo by Stephen Miller) BY JULIETTE BEALE While Portland may have lost its lead as the most bike-able city to Minneapolis, and one publication now ranks ours as only the ninth greenest city in the country, we are arguably still at the forefront when it comes to green design, as evidenced by having three projects on the 2012 AIA COTE Top Ten list: the Mercy …

Proposed Stadium Fred Meyer store (image courtesy Group Mackenzie) BY FRED LEESON Often it seems that the buildings that sustain us with food and the necessities of life are among the most ugly we encounter. Think Wal-Mart, Costco, or even the revamped Safeway on Hawthorne Boulevard that reopened to dismal reviews earlier this year. Perhaps the same will NOT be said about a remodeled …

Zidell Yards and Ross Island Bridge (rendering courtesy Zidell/ZGF) BY BRIAN LIBBY Between the Ross Island Bridge and the Marquam Bridge downtown, between the condo towers of South Waterfront and the shops of Riverplac, there is a 30-acre riverfront parcel poised to become not only Portland's newest neighborhood, but one of the major redevelopments in the United States. This chunk of land is owned …

Master-Draper Backyard Cottage (image courtesy City of Portland) BY BRIAN LIBBY It was an otherwise ordinary September back in 2002. President Bush was upset about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. The New England Patriots were beginning a defense of their Super Bowl win. An update to the newfangled iPod released a year earlier was just hitting Apple stores. A succession of sequels and …

Oregon Sustainability Center (rendering courtesy GBD Architects) BY BRIAN LIBBY For the past six months, it has looked as if the Oregon Sustainability Center would never get built. In Mach, the three-legged stool of funding from state, city and Portland State University was dealt a seemingly fatal blow when the gridlocked state legislature could not pass its share, some $37 million of the …

Deb France (image courtesy Oh planning + design) BY LUKE AREHART For the past eight years, Deb France has led the Portland firm Oh planning + design, which has created a variety of health care, government and higher education projects including the Roseberg VA Medical Center, the Oregon State University Energy Center in Corvallis, and even a collaboration with national firm AECOM on …

Ecological Learning Plaza, Shattuck Hall (photo by Brian Libby) BY BRIAN LIBBY The fall term at Portland State University doesn't begin for a few weeks yet, but on a recent visit to Shattuck Hall, the architeture deparment's home, there was already a palpable energy. As my bicycle pulled up to the renovated circa-1915 Shattuck on SW Broadway, a new plaza presented itself as the …
