PORTLAND BUILDING
Built in 1982 under Michael Graves, this building is the first example of postmodern architecture in the United States. With its various materials, small windows and the predominance of stone, it differs radically from the other office buildings built at that time. In 1985, the Portlandia statue of Raymond Kaskey was added. It is the second largest U.S. copper statue (the first one being the statue of Liberty). The building now houses the city's offices. Since 2006, the building has been covered by a "green roof" which allows for the evacuation of heat and more ecological moisture.
