Multidisciplinary Research with Firms

Portland-based architecture firms share their recent work and research proposals with students and faculty within the School of Architecture every year. As part of their participation in research-based design courses in the Architecture curriculum, students are paired with architecture and engineering firms to collaborate with designers as part of the professional design teams. Through this process, students have opportunities to employ their theoretical knowledge in the real world, contributing to the firms' professional research. This strategy helps them to become confident and accustomed to collaborative work in the architecture profession.
