Pdx Its about the infill ~See the cream of the crop October 11th 10 am to 4 pm

Portland is trying it's best to make a dense city.  Some of the infill is exemplary.  It is thoughtfully designed with different considerations.  Getting dense is not all that easy.  There are so many design issues that come into play.  I have seen some good infill and a lot of it is done by professional architects.

Why would that make a difference?  They are trained to consider things like function and form.  They are trained to think about context.  This matters to people who live around the new infill.  I posted earlier about an architect designed ADU that was in a very tiny space and was private!  The designer considered what it would be like to live there.

American Institute of Architects is having a tour featuring some of this year's architect designed infill projects.  Tickets are $40
