LEARNING
ACTIVISM
April 9-10, 2010
Portland American Institute of Architects, in conjunction with Portland State University’s Department of Architecture and in support of Portland Public Schools, will be hosting a Symposium that looks at the growing role of the citizen architect. This movement redefines the traditional practice of architecture to include tangible service to the public good. Meet the vision- ary leaders of this shift, take part in discussions with other community-minded designers and be an activist; if only for a day. Presentations and forums will conclude with a group design Charrette to address one of the real needs in Portland’s schools.
