Event Feature – AFO’s Dine and Design Events

By Living Room Realty, July 16, 2018

The Architecture Foundation of Oregon’s Dine and Design events are back for the Summer and Fall.

The foundation, whose goal is to support “Oregon’s quality of life and creates awareness of our designed environment through education, engagement and inspiration” host unique fundraising meals throughout the summer. From June through September, guests can have a fantastic meal with drinks, prepared by some of Oregon’s hottest chefs and culinary craftspeople, in the fabulous confines of one architecturally significant place or another and in the presence of an architect involved in the project or one who can speak to it. Occasions range from cozy dinners to large cocktails soirees.

These  Dine & Design events raise money to support the programs of AFO, including their unique Architects in Schools program which directly interacts with nearly 5,000 elementary students per year around Oregon. The long-running Architects in Schools program seeks to instill in young Oregonians ideas of the creative power and possibilities of design with the objective of creating lifelong students and critical thinkers who are engaged with their community.

Begun by AFO since 2003, the Architects in Schools program is equal part arts programming, environmental understanding, awareness of cultural links to history, understanding ecological responsibilities, career awareness & communication skills – all through the architecture and design ideas, while simultaneously addressing Common Core & Next Generation Science Standards.
