A modest pavilion designed by Pietro Belluschi will be reassembled on the Marylhurst University campus just south of Portland, OR (Oregonian article). Belluschi was one of the architects, along with John Yeon, John Storrs, Saul Zaik and others, credited with creating the Northwest School, a branch of modernism with a regional flavor that celebrated our landscape and materials. This pavilion has been in storage, disassembled when its original site was redeveloped. A similar story saved Oregon’s only Frank Lloyd Wright house which now stands in the Oregon Garden in Silverton, OR. While something of the original experience is certainly muffled by the change of location, it is wonderful that these historically significant buildings have been saved!
