Vanport Conceptual Design

Oregon Sequence Studio Project

>Research and Conceptual Design Phase

Portland, Oregon

Fall 2020/ Remote

In this research phase, I was exposed to American History and with the group, I looked at Human Migration to and within the United States. In addition to the graphics, we documented the research and design concept.  

​

The town of Vanport, which was proposed originally to create housing for Kaiser’s shipyard workers. Vanport was a culturally isolated place until it washed out by the flood in 1948. As a design proposal, I would like to highlight this sense of isolation at a personal level.
