Thesis ad agency @thesis.agency in Portland, designed by @leverarchitecture, centers around a main staircase volume that serves at once as auditorium, collaboration, presentation and flow space. In an ode to @dezeen‘s best stairs of 2025 series and to the transition to 2026, take a look!

The postwar history of Lower Albina will be familiar to any student of urban renewal. This district of neighborhoods in the northern section of Portland, Oregon, was the thriving home to four out of five Black Portlanders when it was declared blighted in the mid-20th century. After much of the area was razed to make way for Interstate 5, Veterans Memorial Coliseum, and a Portland Public Schools facility, only 66 units of housing remained along the roughly 100-acre stretch of the Willamette River.⁠

While the gutting of Lower Albina was emblematic of American city planning through the mid-1970s, its current re-entrification, as the concept is known, is poised to become a different kind of national model. Since 2018, the nonprofit Albina Vision Trust (AVT) (@albinavisiontrust) has been spearheading a restorative redevelopment of Lower Albina, in which people who have historical ties to the community will be granted priority to the projects within the organization’s investment plan. With this past summer’s completion of Albina One, an affordable housing complex designed by local firm Lever Architecture (@leverarchitecture), AVT has begun realizing its vision.⁠

This project is the largest #PassiveHouse-certified school in the Western U.S. and the first Salmon Safe-certified school in the country.

@thebushschool's new Upper School building serves as a learning laboratory, featuring healthy materials, natural light, and green stormwater systems.

Nestled among protected, exceptional trees, the Zero Energy-certified building enhances teaching with flexible classrooms and spaces. The structure features mass plywood decking to reduce embodied carbon and optimize construction.

Designed by @mithun_design, the Bush School New Upper School in Seattle, Washington, is among the distinguished recipients of the COTE® Top Ten Award 2025.

This project is the largest #PassiveHouse-certified school in the Western U.S. and the first Salmon Safe-certified school in the country.

@thebushschool's new Upper School building serves as a learning laboratory, featuring healthy materials, natural light, and green stormwater systems.

Nestled among protected, exceptional trees, the Zero Energy-certified building enhances teaching with flexible classrooms and spaces. The structure features mass plywood decking to reduce embodied carbon and optimize construction.

Designed by @mithun_design, the Bush School New Upper School in Seattle, Washington, is among the distinguished recipients of the COTE® Top Ten Award 2025.

Odegaard Library (2/3) at @uofwa by @millerhull was retrofitted just over 10 years ago, which included opening up the ceiling to invite daylight into the main atrium volume, transforming the great stair with reclaimed timber, as well as creating work hubs and classrooms spaces, and earned an @aianational honor that year.

As @uofwa heads back to school this week, I’m sharing images from the venerable Odegaard Undergraduate Library retrofit (1/3), from @millerhull that took a @aianational honor award that year. The project team opened up the original ceiling to flood the main volume with daylight.

2025 AIA Houston Design Awards – Architecture Greater Than 50K SF Award Winner: The Awty International School Student Center.

Firm: Lake Flato Architects @lakeflato
Contractor: Harvey-Cleary @harveycleary_
Structural Engineer: Datum @datumengineers
Civil Engineer: Walter P Moore @walterpmoore

The new Student Center has redefined the heart of Awty International School’s campus, setting the stage for future growth while honoring its multicultural community.

Replacing outdated structures, the three-story center unites dining, library, science labs, classrooms, and a multipurpose hall with outdoor terraces, walkways, and rain gardens that enhance both community and curriculum.

Biophilic and sustainable design strategies guided the LEED Gold project, prioritizing daylight, fresh air, stormwater management, and access to nature. From vibrant dining rooms and a light-filled library to cutting-edge science and robotics labs, the center supports innovation, wellness, and meaningful connections.

Congratulations to Lake Flato Architects, Harvey-Cleary, and the full project team for shaping an inspiring new hub for learning and community at Awty International School.

Biophilic strategies shaped this building, connecting faculty and students to nature while incorporating resilient strategies that address a changing climate in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.

The three-story design of the Awty International School Student Center—the nation’s largest international school—replaces several underperforming one-story structures.

The new student center:

🎉 Celebrates the multicultural school community,
🔬 Catalyzes innovative STEM programming, and
🌱 Creates a fabric of sustainable landscapes within the compact urban campus.

Designed by @lakeflato, the Awty International School Student Center in Houston, TX, is among the distinguished recipients of the AIA Education Facility Design Award 2025.
