Description
Welcome to “avenu,” a journal produced by students at the University of Oregon’s School of Architecture and Allied Arts from 1972-1998. Originally printed as a monthly newspaper, the journal transitioned to a small booklet in the 90s before being disbanded in 1998. A few attempts have been made to revive the journal, including a blogspot in 2006 and a small zine in 2023. The journal preserves nearly three decades of student produced art, graphic design, poetry, and creative writing. Complementing these artistic endeavors are critical essays exploring the then-contemporary worlds of art and architecture criticism. The journal also offers a unique perspective on student cultures of the time,featuring critiques of campus construction projects, exposes on flawed registration and hiring practices, and reflections on the pedagogical practices of faculty. This archive facilitates easy exploration of the University's collection, organizing the archived journal by subject, editors, and topic. If a volume catches your eye, you can request to view it at the University of Oregon’s Special Collections, located on the second floor of the Knight Library.
