Institute for Urban River Research
u r b a n i z e d r i v e r s . Amid the context of increasing global hydrologic crises, the Institute will re-frame the conversation about urban water, and its potential to support healthy ecological, industrial and cultural ecosystems. More than 25% of the urbanized Willamette River has been transformed to have hardened edge conditions, prohibiting healthy ecological functioning and access to the water, an overlooked public amenity.

A
windswept remnant of an all-but-forgotten chapter of our history, the Minidoka Internment Camp, bares few traces of the rigid array of prison barracks, formerly ‘home’ to Japanese nationals and Japanese-American citizens during the final years of WWII. Central to the investigation was the question of how to appropriately and tactfully bring awareness to a painful history, without undermining the power of the site’s desolation.
A c h ro n o logical e x h i b i t a dheres to the l i ne a r s p i n e, highlighting poignant moments, while versatile toplit gallery spaces splay into the landscape. Understated tectonic simplicity nods to cultural precedents, while resonating with historical structures on site.
