This Scholars' Bank collection contains research papers by Architectural Programming 449/549 students. These students study at the Portland Center Architecture Program in Portland, Oregon and are at varying levels of educational development. Students use research completed in this class as a vehicle to define their terminal project programs, or to research elements of site, design, theory and culture. This course is built around investigation of how values guide programmatic decisions, research supports those decisions and design brings those values to life in our built environment.

Influence of Neighborhood Plans on Private Development
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Architecture, Portland Program, 2008) Jensen, Kelsey
The Conway property in North West Portland is a former industrial area, zoned very liberally. Conway has hired consultants that proposed a high density development similar to that of the Pearl district. The density unease's many residents who take pride in their urban, yet "human scale environment". This essay studies whether or not the Northwest District Plan established by the community will assist in successfully integrating a privately owned development back into an established city network.

Willamette Falls: The Challenge of Planning with Finite Resources
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Architecture, Portland Program, 2008-12-05) Polinik, Samantha
This paper asks the question, "Should the threat of dwindling fossil fuel resources influence master planning design decisions at the Willamette Falls? More specifically, should programmatic choices be swayed towards providing for local needs in light of this threat?" Looking at the economic model that defines our global market, I propose that planners should take into account our finite amount of natural resources by including in their plans program that strengthens local economies and communities.

Artisanal Coffeehouses as Potential Prototype for Community Hearth
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Architecture, Portland Program, 2008-12-08) Melvin, Robert
The University of Oregon winter 2008 terminal studio to be conducted by professor D. Genasci, addresses potential development of the Conway (Consolidated Truck Lines) property in northwest Portland, Oregon. The area has significant industrial history and context. For this studio, I propose to integrate two types of occupancy: an industrial component and a community hearth component. With regard to the community hearth aspect, can artisanal coffeehouses, especially those in Portland, serve as prototypes. This brief study gathers information from owners, employees, and observers in order to shed some light on this possibility. Further research is warranted, especially with respect to the similarity or differences between the concept of community hearth and the concept of the "third place."

Architecture Programming Project 3: 21st century Community center
(University of Oregon, Dept. of Architecture, Portland Program, 2008-12-07) Sham, Man Kei
The history of community city can trace back to 1907. At that time, Edward J. Ward, a Presbyterian minister in New York, proposed community center in schools which provided facilities for inner cities outside school hours. The idea was successful. The community was opened for gatherings, group activities, social support, public information, and other purposes ("Community Centre"). However, most community centers lost its significance in modern lifestyle. Except for community centers operated by specific organizations, other community centers are just simply rental spaces for parties or rooms with gym facilities. It is no longer a place for community gathering. What programs should be put in community centers so as to adapt the use of the building type into modern society? In what way the community center should be designed so that it can gather the community? The research will compare 3 community centers in Beaverton in terms of their organization, sources of income, facilities, types of services they provide and facilities. The assumption of the research is that neighborhoods are close to each other, thus people can commute by walking. In part I, brief introduction of each community center will be given. Comparisons between different centers will be given in a table and a short conclusion. In part II, HECTTEAS Tables will be drawn for each center out of the information from the research so as to understand the community centers in terms of architectural programming. Part III will be a summary of all data and a conclusion.
