Unseen Portland Architecture Surveys 40+ Local Firms' Unbuilt Designs at JK Gill Building

Unseen Portland Architecture, an exhibition featuring designs that were never built, is being showcased by Design Portland, with co-director Randy Gragg at the helm, until October 17. The exhibit includes over 40 local architectural firms, such as Hennebery Eddy, Allied Works, and West of West, presenting notable projects like the proposal for the New York Metropolitan Museum and the adaptive reuse of Centennial Mills. Historical pieces on display comprise Daniel E. Condon's 1905 Spiral Elevator and Edward Bennett's 1932 City Beautiful plan. Gragg emphasizes that the exhibition reflects "ambition not quite realized." It is open on Fridays and Saturdays from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with a closing celebration planned for October 22. Design Portland promotes discussions on architecture and urbanism through various events and exhibitions.
