The existing market for ceramics in Portland is thriving,

but The Progression would be a unique and welcome addition.

Design IntentThe Progression is a Makerspace in SE Portland with a focus on ce-

ramics. With the goal of community engagement in mind, there will be a cafe and spaces for pottery classes. The fourth fl oor is mostly re-served for artists-in-residence who will have plenty of retail space on the fi rst fl oor to sell their artisanal goods. Although there are other makerspaces in Portland, as well as many ceramics related stores, The Progression is a unique addition to the arts community. The design is based on a progression of three atriums which serve to organize the space and draw people through the building. The structure follows a rhythm of six feet between beams on one side and eight feet on the other which offers an interesting kinaesthetic experience to walk through the circulation corridor. The facade is a combination of a tex-tured brick pattern and a screen system formed from molded clay. The issue of moving dusty pottery continually between fl oors for fi ring ne-cessitated two elevators in the building. This provides a back-up in case one breaks down, as well as being more ADA-friendly.
