About Us


    Design Portland is a platform for architecture, urbanism, and the broader effort of creating our city. We present exhibitions, talks, workshops, and civic gatherings to promote rigorous dialog about design and the ideas shaping Portland.

    We are host to Volumes, a graphic design library and programming initiative. Together, we are a shared home for designers, students, civic leaders, and the public to connect with each other and to explore the past and imagine the future.
