| • | The Architecture in Portland, Oregon includes a wide range of styles and a few notable pioneering buildings in Portland, Oregon. Notable architect Pietro Belluschi began his career in Portland with the prolific firm of A.E. Doyle, leaving his imprint upon the city until the 1980's. Other notable architects and firms that have worked in Portland are Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM) and Michael Graves.
The scale of many projects are small, due to the small size of downtown Portland blocks (200 feet by 200 feet) plus strict height restrictions enacted in order to protect views of Mount Hood from the West Hills. Although these restrictions limit project size, they contribute to Portland's reputation for exceptional urban planning and livability.
Many historic buildings, ranging from cast iron construction to glazed terra-cotta buildings, have been preserved and re-used.
