University of Oregon Architecture students have taken over a corner of the White Stag Block for the Portland Winter Light Festival. University of Oregon architecture students from Nancy Cheng's Fall 2021 Parametric Design class took on the challenge to express nature’s power with the theme of Resilient Growth for the Portland-based event. Students took inspiration from the natural world to create evocative light and shadow effects that are on display at the White Stag Block until 10 pm, February 12. 

Special thanks to architecture students Ethan Frolof, Isaac Martinotti, Aaron Milgram, Andrew Tesmacher, Max Weisenbloom, who contributed ideas and pulled the installation together. Special thanks to Eddie Parker of Workbox Productions brought it to life through specifying, sequencing and tuning the lights and fans.
