Description

Veterans Memorial Coliseum Lecture and Tour

Portland's International Architectural Jewel.

Join DoCoMoMo_Oregon for a lively lecture and a behind the scenes tour of the historic Veterans Memorial Coliseum: Portland’s international architectural jewel. Lecture presented by Rick Potestio, and tour lead by VMC Assistant General Manager, Scott Sission.

When completed in 1960, Memorial Coliseum was a technological feat of engineering and operation unrivaled by any other large civic structure, and a fully-articulated example of lnternational-Style Modernism. In addition to the glass curtain wall, Memorial Coliseum’s other features, such as the undulating concrete seating bowl, contribute to the significant social history of the building. The building is the only large-scale public arena glass-walled structure of the mid-century retaining its original design, materials, workmanship, highly urban context, and original relationship to nearby geographic features such as the Willamette River.
