Join us this Friday in welcoming Nati Ochoa and Natalie Reeder as they discuss their time as the recipients of the 2025 Rudolph Barton Travel Fellowship. Nati and Natalie traveled this winter to explore how indigenous tradition and technology inform the use of guadua bamboo in Colombian architecture.

About the Speaker

Both Nati Ochoa and Natalie Reeder are graduate students at Portland State University School of Architecture

What is Friday@1?
On most Fridays at 1 p.m. during the academic term, PSU School of Architecture students and faculty gather to hear from professional designers and architects, academics, visiting artists, innovators, and students in the program. Friday@1 is a perfect way to wrap up each week of intense creativity in the studio and get inspired for the productive weekend ahead.

Free and open to the public. All are welcome.
