What happens when the natural world meets the man-made?
Architecture is often viewed as an intrusion; the “built” world cannot exist without changing and re-shaping the natural one. But this process need not be destructive.
How does architecture complement the natural world?
Like nature, architecture adapts. The “built” world can dominate the natural one, but it can also become a part of it. When the two successfully coexist, the beauty of both can emerge.
The Holiday Half: This half-marathon and 5 K will be held in North Portland, starting and ending at the Adidas North America Campus. This first time event sold out in 3 weeks! The fantastic course travels along Willamette Boulevard with views of Forest Park and the river, through the Overlook neighborhood, past the University of Portland campus and under the St. John's Bridge before turning around at Pier Park. From holiday inspired costumes to live music and carolers to local food and drink - this event will be great fun for athlete participants and volunteers! Get in on the festive fun-volunteers still needed!
