This collection includes projects completed in the USP 475/575 Urban Design Workshop

The Urban Design Workshop is a professional exploration into the making of urban form. Theory and practice are intertwined in the work of the class that operates as an Urban Design Team, individually and collectively collaborating within research, innovation and design methodologies. Each spring, the subject of the class is selected to give the students an opportunity to contribute to the ongoing evolution of the City of Portland. By understanding the various systems that comprise the city, the interaction of those systems, the resultant urban forms and how strategic intervention can result in transformative change, the student becomes better prepared to participate as a professional and a citizen.
