Fall 2011 Showcase
In November, members of the Build Local Alliance enjoyed an evening event at the dazzling offices of ZGF Architects in downtown Portland.
Guests learned from METRO's senior ecologist Lori Hennings about cedar's phyisical properties and historic uses and from luthier and furniture maker Charles Freeborn's use of cedar for hand-crafted guitars.
Guests were also treated to profiles of three recently-completed projects that used cedar in different ways, including an Oregon City retreat designed by Ankrom Moisan Architects, a residential addition with a cedar rain scren by Green Hammer, and a University of Oregon residence hall in Eugene designed by ZGF.
The BLA would like to thank ZGF for hosting the event, as well as Kaster's Kustom Cutting and Sustainable Northwest Wood for sponsoring the food and beverages.
