Gresham, Oregon is growing, developing, and looking for a way to revitalize their downtown district. After speaking with representatives from the departments within City Hall, our group developed spatial relationship diagrams and values charts to inform the schematic design of the new City Hall. Our goal in developing this architectural program is to provide the city with a framework to develop a city hall that will serve as an identity for an emerging downtown while promoting community revitalization. en_US University of Oregon, Dept. of Architecture, Portland Program Gresham City Hall Architectural Program New city hall City halls -- Oregon -- Gresham -- Design and construction Gresham (Or.) -- Buildings, structures, etc. Gresham City Hall Architectural Program Other

The primary goal of the Mission Street Development Project is to bring San Francisco closer to earthquake resiliency by providing a secure site for ‘essential city services.’ By providing a seismically strengthened facility for San Francisco’s non-governmental human services organizations, we can reduce the burden placed on the shoulders of our local government. This facility would be aimed at providing the emergency services during the days and weeks following a major disaster, such as food distribution, counseling and non-emergency medical care. en_US University of Oregon All Rights Reserved.

Flood, Ian 2005-12-11T15:50:55Z 2005-12-11T15:50:55Z 2005-12 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/1903 11 p. The city is a producer of two types; Homogenization (sameness) and Fragmentation (difference)! This dichotomy is a balance that must be struck to sustain a city’s cultural identity. Homogenization is something epitomized by Big-Box Retail. Low cost, large inventory and global capital fuel rapid growth of companies like Wal-Mart, Home-Depot and IKEA. One could look to the anti-thesis of Homogenization; Fragmentation, in hopes of creating alternative growth types. One phenomenon that is known for breaking away from rules, markets and homogenization is skateboarding. Dependent on the creativity of the individual, a Skateboarders only device is a thirty six inch long, seven ply, piece of lumber custom molded to hold feet two point five inches off the ground, mounted on trucks, attached to wheels. Skateboarding is the Fragment broken away from Homogenized urban types. In Portland, a proposal for Big-Box development has occurred at a site known as Burnside Bridgehead. One important element of this development that will go overlooked is the world famous Burnside Skate Park. In 1990 the Burnside Skate Park was constructed by local youths underneath the Burnside Bridge who wanted a ramp sheltered from the rain. This paper will look at the development of Burnside Bridgehead as a Big Box influenced by skateboarding in a bold way. Will Portland’s dichotomy create a new urban condition, where the Fragmented influences the Homogenous? 478423 bytes application/pdf en_US University of Oregon, Dept. of Architecture, Portland Program Homogenization/Fragmentation: Can Skateboarding Influence Big Box Design?

Wine making has been around for thousands of years and has been interpreted and molded into an art. There are five components, or steps to making wine: harvesting, crushing and pressing, fermentation, clarification, and aging and bottling. Undoubtedly, one can find endless deviations and clarifications along the way (“Wine making process”). All of these steps result into personal preference and in the end it’s all about pleasing the palette. 228998 bytes 649 bytes application/pdf text/plain en_US University of Oregon, Dept. of Architecture, Portland Program How is wine produced?

People inherently desire to have some sort of interaction with the natural environment in all of its forms. This study intended to examine the role that proximity to natural areas has on people in the workplace, by performing a survey on architecture students that investigated the student’s use, value, and perception of outdoor open spaces. Conclusions found that awareness in the existence of outdoor open space and the opportunity to use it became as important for students then as actual use of outdoor space itself, and that proximity to natural areas provided an array of psychological and physical benefits. 82288 bytes 724 bytes application/pdf text/plain en_US University of Oregon, Dept. of Architecture, Portland Program Importance of Proximity to Urban Natural Areas Other

Abstract: Agrarians painstakingly accommodate to the realities of life and death in the effort to husband the health and long-term productivity of the land. The buildings and landscapes erected by these like-minded individuals and communities embrace values of thrift and pragmatism, unlike the heroics reshaping the rural and urban areas since the advent of industrialism. 1846 bytes 44641 bytes text/plain application/pdf en_US University of Oregon, Dept. of Architecture, Portland Program Agrarianism Critical regionalism Architecture Universalism Rootedness Industrialists dominate, agrarians accommodate Article

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".
