Some dinners are planned around the menu, and some are planned around the clock. Just outside Oregon City, there is a log lodge perched above the Clackamas River where locals time their reservations around the evening light.

Some Portland restaurants come and go faster than a summer rain, but a few stubborn little places keep doing things the old way. One of them sits on a quiet street in southwest Portland, run by a couple who cook every plate and bake every pastry themselves.

That question shaped East County Library, a new public library in Gresham, Oregon, designed by Holst Architecture in collaboration with Adjaye Associates through the design development stage.
