Rejuvenations Street of Eames fund raising series of conversations with modern architects kicks off at the end of this month. The first architect up is Bud Oringdulph, co-founder of the Portland based firm BOORA.
An important, actively practicing member of Portland’s architecture community, Bud Oringdulph graduated from the University of Oregon School of Architecture in 1956. Two years later he co-founded the successful Portland-based firm BOORA Architects- well known locally and internationally for its public buildings, including schools, libraries and art centers. Oringdulph cites Robert Ansen, A. Quincy Jones, and Frederick E. Emmons as influential contemporaries, and he singles out Seattle-based architect Paul Hayden Kirk as a major influence on his local residential work.
The event is on Wednesday April 28th, 2010 starting at 6pm with wine and hors d’oeuvres served. There is a suggested donation of $20 that will benefit the Street of Eames after school programs for homeless youth.
