    Love it! Perfect Location, right next to new streetcar/max/pedestrian bridge going across the river. Baseball has a tradition of coming and going in Portland, I'm sure once this economy rebounds Portland baseball will too

    The city itself is black and white. The picture of Saks has been photoshopped to appear colorful.

    The final design for the Sustainability Center (across from PSU)

    I must say I like this design better than the concept!

    Portland is a model for urban planning. In the last ten years it's grown in a major way, in terms of development. That's what got me into keeping tabs on various projects. I get a lot of my info from Brian Libby's site, he has a blog just on Portland architecture. Oh, and the PDC.

    Btw, you realize just how far ahead Portland is when it come to urban planning when you go to other cities.

    For example, Phoenix, where I spent last weekend, is a few decades behind Portland. Phoenix and L.A. are similar in that they have endless sprawl.

    To be fair - Phoenix is a few centuries ahead of Portland when it comes to rain control.

    I agree however that Portland's UGB is one of the better ways to control urban sprawl.

    Phoenix is kinda like stepping back in time, besides the baseball park. Just curious, because I love architecture and urban planning. My father-in-law is a principle at Ankrom Moisan, one of the most prestigious firms around. He is the #3 guy around there. A lot of the Pearl and almost all of South Waterfront are his designs. Check out some of their projects.
