University of Oregon students spotlight five sustainable urban design proposals
Five architecture students from the University of Oregon present their visions of a Centre for Democracy and Environmental Justice to repair "damaged urban context" in this VDF school show.
The schemes, which range from a water research facility to a building dedicated to education in an underserved neighbourhood in Portland, were completed on the Inclusive Architecture and Urban Design course at the university as part of a studio focused on sustainable urban design.

University: University of Oregon, School of Architecture and Environment
Course: Just City. Just Future. Inclusive Architecture and Urban Design
