A growing downtown civic district demanded an updated city hall which took the needs of the community, the natural landscape that defines the pacific northwest and the culture of efficient building design present in the city into account. This design sought to abstract natural metaphors present in the landscape into a cohesive building design that's impact and abilities transversed its skin. A district hub for stormwater treatment, energy production, community conversation, and a step towards a new future for Eugene.
