Hole in the ground housing


Two months ago I was working on an Urban Park's Charrette with a group of University of Oreogn Landscape and Architecture students. The proposal was to replace the famous (infamous?) Downtown Eugene pit with a greenspace.

How things have changed.

My new employer, PIVOT Architecture, has teamed up with a local developer to put a six-story student apartment building on the site. Competing with a number of other groups, the PIVOT plan is in (a sort of) 2nd place running with WG and TBG Architects just down the street.
