Briefed 8.6

John Carroll is taking another whack at redeveloping the "stinking mess" of a Smart Park on 10th and Yamhill, the O reports.

The Seattle P-I's art critic thinks Randy Gragg should look outside of Portland with Spaces.

ZGF designed a show-me-the-green hq for the EPA in Denver, but cost considerations let China's materials beat out Colorado's, the Rocky Mountain News says.

Spaces open

I was rummaging through the internet and found a call for interns for Portland Monthly's new Randy Gragg-led shelter-ish magazine that also contained details about the mag itself.

From the email:

"Debuting in January, Spaces will be a regional home and garden magazine. But this being Portland, the idea of “home” and “garden” will be stretched.

Mission: Portland Spaces is a magazine about the design of the places we live, work, play and gather. It’s a guide for creating spaces to love from gardens, kitchens and living rooms, to workplaces and neighborhoods to the city and the region as a whole. It is about the opportunities and tradeoffs in balancing sustainability, elegance and value, both when money is no object but also when it is, by necessity or by choice. Spaces will be a magazine, a website and a public discussion series that will inform, provoke, and celebrate the city ‑ the people and spaces that have made Portland into one of the most distinct, creative and dynamic places in the country."

A magazine, a website, and a public discussion series. Excellently executed, this could be...incredible.
