A clever way to get young people excited about history!
“Portland’s history of encouraging good {architectural} design is based on the concept that new development has a responsibility to be considerate of its neighbors and to contribute positively to the public realm — the street … Good design is about more than aesthetics.
It is about the way neighborhoods function. It’s about houses that encourage us to look out the
window and see our neighbors’ children walking home safely from school. It’s about streets that
are defined by people, not cars. It’s about an inclusive, rather than an isolated, perception of
ourselves in the context of the community.”
