The American Institute of Architects’ Portland chapter this fall will host a highlighting urban infill projects.

The self-guided 鈥�AIA Portland Homes Tour: Crafted + Creative Urban Infill鈥� will take place on Oct. 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and feature eight contemporary homes in the city, said Amy Dragon, membership director for AIA Portland. A committee of AIA members selected the homes 鈥� all completed either this year or last year 鈥� as prime examples of custom urban infill projects designed in harmony with inner Portland neighborhoods, she said.

The tour is open to the public, but it’s especially valuable to members of the Portland-area design community, Dragon said.

鈥淚t’s a great opportunity for architects to go see what their peers are feeling are examples of good design,鈥� she said.

Tour participants will receive a printed booklet with maps and descriptions of each home. The projects’ owners or architects will be available during the tour to answer questions.

Tickets are $40 and can be purchased online at .

The home tour is part of Design Week Portland, which will start Oct. 4. Other planned events for the week include film screenings and a design competition, Dragon said.
