May 12 Architect Clopfil of Allied Works Speaks

Brad Clopfil, starting as a UO professor of architecture, has built elegant modern spaces, many commissions are arts museums or shelter creatives. I believe Allied works will stand the test of time, a cruel metric for architecture spanning decades, more even, of existence, and criticism. Works include the remodel of the Saucebox Bar, The interior of PDX Contemporary Art gallery, the W+K Building, The Maryhill Museum Overlook, The Seattle Art Museum, Museums in St Louis, Michigan, New York, a new Clyfford Still museum in Denver, two arts schools and a handful of private residences.

Tonight Clopfil is interviewed by Randy Gragg, noted local architecture and planning writer. Part of a series sponsored by the City Club of Portland and Portland Spaces Magazine. It's at Jimmy Mak's, 221 NW 10, 6PM Free
