vernacular material research




larger here


Portland Architecture

The image above is a list of the tallest 40 or so structures in Portland. Existing facade materials include glass, steel, aluminum, concrete, terracotta, and granite.

We intend on using local materials as much as possible- which doesn't necessarily mean vernacular or, as shown above, materials in use in the surrounding cityscape.
