    Love Brutalism? Hate Brutalism? Feel meh about it? (Not likely.) Then this ride is for you--so long as you are open to looking at, hearing about, and discussing architecture! Tour some of the city's best Brutalist buildings downtown and in NW Portland with a group of architectural historians and other enthusiasts. Everyone's favorite (or not) postwar architectural style is the star of the show here. We will look at concrete, and more concrete, and even more still. Plus a few examples of significant non-Brutalist buildings thrown in. Tour leaders will share information at each of our stops--the goal is to be educational, but also fun. Come prepared to listen, learn, and share your opinions about these hulks. We'll end with an informal hang and refreshments at Portland's very best Brutalist(-y) site.
