Construction Materials 101: Hands-on Workshop Series
The Portland area Emerging Professionals Committee is considering putting together a series of hands-on workshops aimed at demystifying some common construction processes and techniques. Get answers to your ‘nuts and bolts’ questions and gain understanding beyond the printed sheet! Topics covered may include: concrete, wood construction, irrigation, soils for planting or others. This series would be oriented toward Emerging Professionals and landscape designers preparing to take the multiple-choice sections of the L.A.R.E. If there’s sufficient interest, we’ll plan to schedule the workshops for February 2010.

If you would be interested in participating as an audience member or a presenter, or if you have suggestions for a topic, please contact Brynn Reimann.

ALLIED EVENTS

Architects in Schools

Architects in Schools is seeking volunteers for the upcoming 09-10 school year program. Consider sharing your passion and professional skills and building ties with your community.

Portland schools are still in need of at least two landscape architects, especially within Washington and/or Clackamas counties.

The Architecture Foundation of Oregon (AFO) coordinates partnerships between landscape architects and area schools. The program is open to grades 3 through 5 and offered to the schools at no charge.

Landscape architect commitment to the program usually totals approximately 20 hours between January and April as follows:

• 12 hours in the classroom (approximately two hours per week over a six-week period that works with the architect’s schedule)
• 8 hours of orientation, including pre-planning time with teachers, and
• Up to 2 additional hours of “floating time”

Program orientation for volunteers will be held around the state:

• Portland - Saturday, January 30th, 2010
• Bend - Saturday, February 6th, 2010
• Salem/Eugene - TBA

The program culminates with exhibits of student work during the month of May. The Portland exhibit opens on First Thursday (May 6, 2010) at the Center for Architecture, Albina Community Bank Gallery and the US Bank Tower lobby with receptions at all locations.

If you are interested in participating in training and volunteer work with area grade schools, contact ASLA Education Chair Bethany Rydmark for details. Responses needed ASAP.
