Join us on an EGD-focused tour of the beautiful Portland Japanese Garden! With the recent expansion by world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma and renovation of the grounds, there is new interpretive, wayfinding and identity signage to celebrate!

As we meander through the garden, Abby-Sophia Alway of Anderson Krygier and Scott Myers of Center Pointe Signs will share their process of designing, fabricating and installing the new EGD experiences.

During and just after the tour, we hope to engage the attendees in a Q+A session and conversation. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Garden admission is included in the event fee, and attendees are welcome to continue on self-guided tours of the garden following the event.

Please RSVP through Eventbrite.

A big thank you to this event's sponsor - Center Pointe Signs!

 

Save the date: Portland Chapter Japanese Garden Tour

Join us on a tour of the beautiful addition to the garden in the park. World renowned Architect Kengo Kuma recently completed a new complex in this urban garden. With that addition and renovation work, there were new interpretive, wayfinding and identity signage. Guest speakers responsible for the design, fabrication and installation of the interpretive elements will walk with us through the renovated space describing the process of implementing this experience.

2018 Portland Chapter Student Event

Our first event of 2018 will focus on Student outreach where six students will participate in the interview process.

In addition to the mock-interviews and portfolio reviews, the students will be given a tour of the design studio they're visiting as well as being treated for lunch. The design studio's of Mayer/Reed, Anderson Krygier, and Ancona & Associates in Portland, Oregon will be the participating hosts.

At the lunch, we will be joined with a special guest Chris Kirkaldie from Center Pointe Signs (Our 2017 chapter sponsor). We will be announcing that each of the participating students will receive a free SEGD student membership. This will be paid for with funds CPS gave that were specifically intended for students. We're happy to fulfill that promise.

A special thank you to Kathy Fry with Mayer/Reed for putting this event together.
