Mixed Use Evolution

During extreme creativity droughts (internships), I found myself thinking of fictitious projects on fictitious sites. This was one of those thoughts. Loosely based on a project in Bend, this is a mixed use building envisioned as an infill project - a program that proliferates the inner Portland core. It's rough and unfinished with a coherent theme. Looking back, I have to ask - can it be architecture without a site? Regardless, these kinds of exercises kept me sane at the time.
