Creative Spark: An Architects in Schools Celebration & Design Competition

Join us for a lively evening to celebrate our flagship Architects in Schools program and spark creativity among intergenerational designers!

Competing designers from DLR Group, ZGF Architects, Skanska, INTEGRUS, Scott Edwards Architecture, Interface Engineering, Opsis Architecture, Lease Crutcher Lewis, Mackenzie, and NBBJ Design have imagined a space or feature “In Motion,” playing on the idea of movement at Mount Tabor Park in SE Portland. Who will judge the best design? You guessed it: student participants from this spring’s Architects in Schools program. Don’t worry, you will get to cast your vote for the People’s Choice award.

About Architects in Schools (AiS)
The AiS program introduces Oregon’s youngest design-thinkers to the power and possibilities of design with the end goal of creating lifelong learners and critical thinkers who have a voice in their community. The program has grown to serving more than 5,000 elementary and middle school students across the state of Oregon.

AiS pairs classroom teachers with design professionals, provides teacher/design professional training and residency preparation, design professional classroom involvement, supply fund support for low-income schools and a public exhibit of student work at the end of the residency period. In addition, AFO offers a week long virtual summer camp based on AiS curricula for children ages 8-12. The program receives invaluable support from over 175 design and building professionals and their firms around Oregon.
