The blog will involve research and the presentation of materials in several formats addressing issues related to a forthcoming 282 Architecture Design Studio (in Spring). The studio will design accommodation for the PSU Social Practice Master of Fine Arts program. This program emphasizes community engagement through non-studio creative activities executed in the field.

Urban Tree/ Vertical Garden


This is an idea that really gets me thinking about the "Urban Filter/Garden". With this type of structure, you would be providing an ecologically friendly service to the community (O2), as well as maybe producing a far amount of shade in the summer months. For PDX, really all you would need to do is add a rain catchment system at the base that would provide fresh water for the plants.
