Museums play an important role in establishing cultural identity. Museum of Portland History embraces the ever changing history by framing a place with dynamic identity. As visitors walk through the galleries, they not only interact with informative and engaging installations, but gain an intrinsic connection with Portland’s unique and dynamic urban community.

Site Analysis
"That nothing is static or fixed, that all is eeting and impermanent, is the first mark of existence. It is the ordinary state of affairs. Everything is in process. Everything-every tree, every blade of grass, all the animals, insects, human beings, buildings, the animate and the inanimate-is always changing, moment to moment." Pema Chodron, The Places That Scare You

As the visitors browse the exhibition, they catch glimpses of the city through the fenestration, which provides a reminder of the current scene of the artifact.
source of transformation Furniture has signifiers of utility that indicate specific ways of interaction. When remixed and presented in different and unexpected ways the signifiers create new possibilities. Transformations in a relationship with the body can begin to direct the user’s habits. Changes in material, composition, scale, and color can uncover how furniture communicates.

Portland, OR Winter 2009 Burnside
At the intersection of then and tomorrow, this site exists on an non-orthogonal and pivotal Portland city block south of Burnside Avenue. This empty lot is in the shadow of iconic “Big Pink�. This project creates a contextual and dynamic, appropriate and unexpected, pragmatic and abstract, urban intervention. Occupants experience the vibrant and diverse Portland with new perspectives.

Imagination and hand
Our design studio collaborated with Peace Corps volunteer Maridee BonaDea to generate design proposals for a new artisans’ center in Koutiala, Mali. The artisans of Koutiala represent a diverse group of crafts people. The studio hoped to foster ideas for a new facility that will support learning, advance the exchange of ideas and facilitate the artisans’ business development and marketing.
