Description
This photo composite is created from photographs of reflections in modern buildings in downtown Portland, Oregon.
Portland architecture includes a number of notable buildings, a wide range of styles, and a few notable pioneering architects.
The scale of many projects is relatively small, as a result of the relatively small size of downtown-Portland blocks (200 feet by 200 feet) and strict height restrictions enacted to protect views of nearby Mount Hood from Portland's West Hills. Although these restrictions limit project size, they contribute to Portland's reputation for thoughtful urban planning and livability.
Portland is a leader in sustainable architecture and is known for its focus on urban planning. As of 2009, Portland has the second highest number of LEED-accredited "green" buildings of any city in the U.S., second only to Chicago.

Excellent arrangement of lines and patterns. This composition advances into the foreground and then suddenly recedes into the background over and over again. I like a canvas with such movement.

Love this image, the geometry moving across the page, the colors repeated in new configurations. Then I read about Oregon, a city I visited many years ago. Wonderful history and detail. Thank you! f/v
