Greetings,

 

Welcome to 2013-14! 

 

As A&AA embarks on a new academic year, we already are winning new awards, gaining new recognition for world-class research, art, and design, and continuing our commitment to civic responsibility in a myriad of areas. We have recently achieved our highest fundraising year ever---- almost $12 million. Our students and faculty are crafting new roles of designers, thinkers, makers, and planners. Please join me in welcoming new students, new faculty members, and new professional staff to another year of making good.

 

Best wishes,

Frances Bronet, Dea

Student work at Design Week Portland

 



An elongated wood chair and shelf designed by Pirrin Wright, a convertible soft-top and soft-back storage cabinet by Emily Boeselms, and a padded sled-like easy chair by Amy Selven represent some of the designs by UO Interior Architecture Program students who exhibited their work during Design Week Portland October 7-12. The furniture was made in the winter 2013 Interior Architecture Program furniture design studio taught by Adjunct Instructor Wonhee Arndt. Students were asked to design a piece of furniture for a single urban dweller and to incorporate Pendleton Woolen Mill's Eco-Wise Flannel fabric in the design. Pendleton Home in Portland displayed the furniture during Design Week. Photograph by Associate Professor Alison Snyder, Interior Architecture Program director and exhibit coordinator.
