Drink N’ Crit

The Drink N’ Crit presents the work of the first two of three charrettes that examined ways in which Portland can become a city of 75,000 and be better than it is today.  PSA architects, landscape architects, engineers and planners responded to our open call to participate in the charrette series.  Now these visions are subject to public critique.

The Crit is a staple of an architectural education.  It is a process in an academic studio where designs are displayed before a jury and peers for critical examination and commentary.  Jurors selected for this event are community activists in the fields of transportation, planning and landscape, among others.

It’s a chance for public glory, brilliant theoretical discussion and slings and arrows if the work doesn’t measure up.  In normal life, this all ends once you leave school, but we’re bringing it back once again to Portland for architects, landscape architects, interior designers and other design fans.

Open to the Public.
