This proposal brings opposing sides of the issue together: the cultural and scientific issues. There is a community c enter and an scienc e c enter and in-between is an interactive atrium spac e that would ser ve as a resiliency c enter. The at r i u m i s a fo r m a l l y ex p r e s s i v e and interactive spac e that is meant to embody the spatial condition of a subduction zone. 2

THE BUILDING SHOULD SERVE ULTIMATELY AS A BEACON TO DRAW PEOPLE IN AND CREATE A LEARNING HUB FOR THE COMMUNITY. THE BEACON COULD ALSO BECOME A RECOGNIZABLE MEETUP SPOT FOR FAMILIES TO COME TOGETHER.

DOCUMENTING CHANGES AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE THOUGHTFUL STORYTELLING TECHNIQUE OF ON-SITE SKETCHES. My obsession with keeping sketchbooks star ted out as a p a s s i o n fo r h a n d d r aw i n g but overtime it has morphed into something a lot more meaningful to both myself and the communities around me. By going out into the world and sketching I am telling a stor y of a plac e and a community at a ver y specific point in time. This reportage technique has become a ver y useful tool to record the climate, cultural, and political changes and treads around the world. I plan on publishing collections of drawings alongsid e stories and inter views on my website. 8

A bench is a place for many activities: Waiting for a bus, being alone, being with a group of friends, eating your food cart takeout, resting during a bike ride, enjoying the day, or experiencing a unique location. Portland is a playground: Portland offers a lot to explore, from its beaches, mountains, and forests to the urban wonders of maker shops, food carts, and street performers. Portlanders love to leave their mark on public spaces from the bricks at Pioneer Courthouse Square to impromptu lending libraries to bike sculptures. The Pedal & Perch bench invites users to interact with it by exploring its different configurations and to chart where they are in the city. The bench references Portland’s bike culture in its materials and graphics and makes use of recycled materials in a novel and fun way. A system of these benches could tie into a series that link popular and little-known resting spots along Portland’s bike/pedestrian paths. The Pedal & Perch bench encourages exploration of Portland by bike or foot. The playful nature of the bench makes it readily identifiable on its own; as well as, a potential link in a larger scale to explore the playground that is Portland.
The bench has a high degree of variety and flexibility within the panel system that allows the user to explore all of the panels’ possible configurations. Each panel has a support and pivot assembly that can slide along the track at the back of the bench. A spring-loaded latch at the front of the panel allows it to be locked into place at nodes positioned along a map of Portland. The panel is infilled with up-cycled bicycle inner tubes in a weave pattern which also reflects the grid of the city.

The main driver of this project originated from a goal to PROG RAMS make the neighborhood easily accessible from all of the R H I N O A D O B E I L L U S T R A T O R nearby parks and bike trails. A D O B E

Copenhagen already has a really great bike trail that links a series of urban parks, but the trail ends abruptly at the corner of the site. T h e g o a l fo r t h i s p r o j e c t w a s t o connect the greenway bike trail through the site and into the C openhagen suburbs, creating an inviting and walkable neighborhood.

I wanted to map the city of Bend in a more accessible way. By drawing the map in perspective it relates more to personal experiences and physical conditions than a c onventi onal map would. This proc ess gave me the tools to recognize the unique characteristic of Bend as a nomadic, technology driven, and outdoorsy town.

People like to inhabit edges in public spaces. It gives them a plac e to sit, stand, walk, play, or relax alone or with a group. The circle was the module that I c h o s e fo r t h i s d e s i g n b e c au s e a circle has infinite edges. By pushing and pulling the topography of a circle, a wide range of spatial conditions occur which invite a more diverse and colorful crowd into the public space. By becoming more inviting, the outdoor space becomes safer and the neighborhood thrives.
