2026 Modernism Lecture

OREGON MODERNISM THROUGH THE LENS OF OPEN SPACE

A Film Viewing and Conversation
 

Restore Oregon is excited to welcome back Open Space co-founders Elias Tebache and Mick Aure to Portland as we feature their first films of Oregon homes and hear from them directly at our annual Modernism lecture. They will discuss what led them to create their platform, their creative expression and extensive library of work, how they have been inspired by Oregon Modernism, and why it’s important to the national narrative.

Last year, Open Space turned its lens toward Oregon, exploring five architectural treasures that define the Pacific Northwest Modern style. Through their distinctive storytelling and cinematography, the series highlights two homes designed by John Yeon, two homes by Pietro Belluschi, and William Fletcher’s personal home.  Their featurettes were released this past spring and have been viewed online over one million times.

Reserve your seat today and join us for an unforgettable evening of architecture, film, storytelling, and conversation.
