This Library Was Designed To Feel Like Walking Through A Forest

How do you create a forest out of a building? 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. Completed in 2026, the building takes cues from the Pacific Northwest landscape through its exposed wood structure, daylight-filled spaces, and progression from lively gathering areas to quieter places to read.

‘Wildwood’ Review: A Stop-Motion Game Changer

Wildwood is an extremely mystifying experience. For most of the runtime, Laika Studios kept me in a constant state of questioning. Not in terms of plot or character beats, but in how exactly any of this is possible. As a studio, Laika has always been in a league of its own, creating exceptional visual masterworks in stop-motion animation. However, their 2026 film Wildwood pushes the envelope like we have never seen before.

I happened to be passing through Denver, so I drove over to Golden Gate Park to capture some beautiful fall colors on the aspens, plus a neighborhood photo walk in my hometown of Portland.
