ARCH 484I584 // Visualizing Health Equity…………………………………………………….11am – 3:30pm
“Visualizing Health Equity” contributes visions for an equitable future, where everyone in the Portland Jade District has the opportunity to lead a healthier life. With Jade District community environmental justice frameworks as a starting point, the studio explores connections between the built environment and racial and socio-economic health inequities, examining the full role that architecture and urban design can play in reducing those inequities. Students are synthesizing lessons from a community advocate from the Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon, a healthy buildings expert, and spatial justice theorists, and have developed proposals centered on affordable housing and community spaces.

ARCH 486I586 // Crossing the Border……………………………………………………………….2pm – 6pm
On one hand, boundaries and walls— transitions between inside and outside—are essential to architecture. But “inside” and “outside” may also imply “insiders” and “outsiders”—categories of social, economic and environmental exclusion. In this terminal/thesis studio we will investigate these ideas using an architectural project to show how a divisive or problematic border may turn into one of helpful overlaps and interchange.

ARCH 486I586 // GIG Architecture…………………………………………………………………..10am – 6pm
GIGA Studio looks at how remote work will affect the way architects design housing and office buildings. Students were asked to envision an ecosystem comprised of headquarter buildings for remote companies, housing for remote workers and the “hubs” that connect the two. It’s been an amazing experience to see what seemed to be a theoretical exercise last September turn into a reality in the past months. Having spent the last term studying remotely, students were able to learn about the challenges and opportunities behind remote work first hand.
