After visiting Rome a couple of summers ago, I fell in love with
arches. This building doesn't exactly fit in with the modern feel of Portland but gives us an old time, roman empire feeling when standing under it. It was my all time favorite picture in the architectureproject.
This is a building downtown that is being renovated. It has a outer casing on it where people are quickly trying to make it something better and new, Just like a face lift.
This has to be one of my favorite additions in this project. I caught the light just right and the picture gives you this mysterious feeling. You never know where staircases might lead and in Portland, its probably a good idea to fallow them. They may just change your life.
