Fuensanta Nieto & Enrique Sobejano are Spanish architects who specialize in designing modernist structures that sit among traditional buildings in Europe. Portland's design regulations and public involvement programs have turned back more than one effort in this area, requiring brick facades, continuing lines, awnings, or specific proportions. Nieto-Sobejano also have a specialty in perforated concrete, which is quite beautiful. Tonight they visit Portland to discuss their work. In the Shattuck Hall Annex, 1914 SW Park Avenue, at the corner of SW Broadway and Hall on the PSU campus. 6PM Free
