Description: The Crit is a staple of an architectural education.  It's the final critique in an academic studio where you hang your designs on the wall, and stand and present your ideas in front a jury of your peers.

It's a chance for public glory, brilliant theoretical discussion and slings and arrows if the work doesn't measure up.  In normal life, this all ends once you leave school, but we're bringing it back to Portland for architects, landscape architects, interior designers and other design fans.
