Interested in space to pursue a research, design or art project in Portland this summer?

We invite you to apply for a White Stag Summer 2014 Work Residency:

The School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the University of Oregon in Portland is offering shared studio workspace and conditional access to the woodshop and Fab Lab in Summer 2014. Individual or group residencies are available for one to eight weeks between June 23 – August 13, 2014. Architects, artists and designers are invited to work in the White Stag Block in the heart of Portland’s Old Town | Chinatown neighborhood. The residency is open to A&AA regular and adjunct faculty interested in spending time in the vibrant Portland environment, with studio space to experiment and develop research. You may request access to the fabrication lab resources including a CNC milling machine, laser-cutters, a rapid-prototyping 3D plastic printer, loaded high-end graphic workstations and an adjacent woodworking shop. Interdisciplinary projects and multi-institutional teams are welcome. There will be no fee for use of the studio facilities, but residents will be required to pay all production-related costs on the fabrication equipment. Residency does not include a stipend or housing. Participants will provide their own materials.
