PUBLIC PEDAGOGY: MINING THE MUSEUM

- May 26 -

In with the New, In With the Old, Old in the New                                                        -Lacy Tramp Overall my exploding museum piece was to connect the atmosphere of people and the buildings. When I was walking through the Pearl District and Down Town, there was an incredible assortment of people with different backgrounds, styles, and age. The Pearl District exemplifies this with its unique building structures. There is a style that connects the past generations with the new generations. Both seem to have a significant effect on one another. On one hand, the new generation likes to hold onto past things, within their roots… Contemporary buildings designed to show a classic style. On the other hand the older generation is being affected by the new generation to get into style, get modernized, meanwhile being capable to preserve their past. The warehouses are preserved, in a way that can efficiently utilize the space and conform to the unique atmosphere that is… Portland. This is all best seen on the first thursday of every month in my opinion, which is why I connected it with my paper as you will see below. Below are some of my photos I took, and my written piece.
