Notice of UDP Meeting - June 18

via Mauricio Villarreal, VP Member Services

Hello all,

Our next UDP meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday the 18th at noon at the Center for Architecture. We will have a presentation by the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability on the Growth Scenarios Report and how it will be used in the upcoming discussions about the Comp Plan map. We will share our latest thinking on centers and corridors and look for feedback from the UDP. This is the first of several sessions to be focused on the City's new Comp. Plan, and specifically the associated urban form issues. Tuesday's session will provide the background for future sessions which will focus more specifically on different parts of the City.

Hope to see many of you there.

Teams of Architecture/Landscape Architecture collaborators will present examples of spatially-integrated design work and discuss the specific design strategies as well as the process of cross-discipline collaboration.

Our presenter list will include around five teams with five great projects to share.

So mark your calendars now for Wednesday, June 19. It won't be quite the longest day of the year, but close. We're going to make it a memorable evening for our members and friends at the Actor’s Cabaret, 996 Willamette St, Eugene, OR 97401.

7:00 Program
7:50 Discussion
8:00 Conclusion

Learning Objectives:
1. Learn how designers in the fields of architecture and landscape architecture can blur the distinction between indoors and outdoors well and better.
2. Understand strategies to "bring the outdoors in" and/or "bring the indoors out" to make the building and landscape compatible with -- even an extension of -- each other.
3. Understand how the process of cross-discipline collaboration can result in strong examples of spatially-integrated design.
4. Learn the logistics of how design teams have successfully initiated/facilitated cross-discipline collaboration.

See you on June 19!!

Julie Bargmann Lecture

via Karen O'Donnell Stein, Communications & Student Services Coordinator
Portland State University School of Architecture

"Placing," School of Architecture Lecture Series:
Julie Bargmann, "Working Traces"
Thursday, May 2, 2013 - 6:00pm

“Architects create places, not spaces.” In the second annual lecture series presented by the School of Architecture at Portland State University, six internationally renowned leaders from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, art, planning and anthropology will tackle this once-controversial idea. The series spans the 2012-2013 academic year, with presentations by Dan Wood, Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey, Kevin Daly, Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano, Tim Ingold and Julie Bargmann. Each of these speakers will discuss the ways in which the active processes of siting, locating, positioning and placing things and people in the world are conceived and embodied in their work.

Landscape architect Julie Bargmann will speak as part of the "Placing" lecture series on Thursday, May 2, 2013, giving a lecture titled "Working Traces."

"Evidence of multiple-site histories lurks beneath urban expanses of asphalt and weeds. To reframe vacant land as full becomes the primary act of design, unearthing the embodied energy of men, women, and children who once labored there. Working with these traces makes places within a renewed landscape of ecological and cultural production," writes Bargmann.

Julie Bargmann is an innovative designer of regenerative landscapes and founder and principal of D.I.R.T. Studio ("Dump It Right There"). Based in New York City, she is also Associate Professor at the University of Virginia, where she leads venturesome investigations with students into derelict terrain, imagining renewed sites of cultural and ecological production. Her work has received numerous awards and has been featured in art and design exhibitions worldwide.

WHEN: Friday, March 22, 2013 @ 12:00pm
LOCATION: Oregon Electric Station, 27 E 5th Ave Eugene, OR 97401

EWEB Riverfront Master Plan Update Presentation:
The EWEB Riverfront Master Plan was unanimously approved by the EWEB Board of Commissioners in June 2010. Rowell Brokaw Architects led the design team and conducted extensive public outreach and involvement to develop a community-supported redevelopment vision. During the past two years, a consulting team led by Cameron McCarthy has translated the Master Plan into land use implementation tools, which are currently under review by the Eugene Planning Commission. The Master Plan envisions a green redevelopment, with approximately 8-acres of dedicated public open space. The Master Plan includes a dynamic cultural landscape and open space framework based on layers of civic, ecological, and cultural history embedded in the site. The framework is the basis for new policy, code, and design guidelines intended to shape the future riverfront park. Representatives from Rowell Brokaw Architects and Cameron McCarthy will be on hand to present the vision, discuss the implementation tools, and update ASLA members on the current status of the project.
