An Ever-Changing Hub of Artists and Architects
Space and light are key design elements of both architecture and the visual arts. On this short walking tour we’ll explore the east side of the Pearl District near the North Park Blocks. This is an area that is filled with artists, architects and other cultural creatives in an ever-changing urban environment.
We’ll have a chance to view two historic buildings now home to the Pacific Northwest College of Art (Federal Building – 1916) and the community workspace, WeWork (US Custom House – 1901).
