Hometown architects got the nod over a Portland firm to design Eugenes next City Hall.
Eugene City Manager Jon Ruiz has selected Rowell Brokaw Architects of Eugene as the lead architect on the City Hall project, over THA Architecture of Portland.
The city on Friday issued a notice of intent to award the work to Rowell Brokaw, which was competing with THA for the job.
Were excited about designing a building that fits Eugene and really has the support of the community, principal John Rowell said.
A new City Hall could cost $15 million, officials estimate. Of that, $11 million is estimated for construction and $4 million for design and other costs.
Ruiz said the selection was difficult as we reviewed proposals from two quality design teams.
But Ruiz said the opinions from residents that attended a presentation by the two firms in May helped him make the choice.
City Hall can be a hub of community pride and identity, and foster a strong sense of place, Ruiz said. The selection of Rowell Brokaw Architects is an important step in realizing a modest approach to a long-held community vision.
The final decision to hire Rowell Brokaw depends upon the city and the firm agreeing to contract terms, according to the award notice.
Public purchasing regulations allow THA to file a protest over the award until June 28.

"Designing Recovery" Competition To Have Real-World Impact on Families Struck by Three Recent Catastrophes
CHICAGO -- The American Institute of Architects (AIA) today announced a strategic partnership with Make It Right, St. Bernard Project and Architecture for Humanity to launch "Designing Recovery," an ideas competition created to aid in the rebuild of sustainable and resilient communities. The competition, which is designed to help survivors of three recent natural disasters, was announced as a Commitment to Action at CGI America, an annual event of the Clinton Global Initiative focused on finding solutions that promote economic recovery in the United States.
Dow Building Solutions, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company, is sponsoring the award, providing building science expertise and products.
The "Designing Recovery" competition will take place in three distinct settings - New Orleans, LA; Joplin, MO; and New York, N.Y. - where the non-profit partner organizations are already working to recover from previous disasters. The partner organizations will assemble a portfolio, or pattern book, of entries of single-family housing designs with the objective of improving the quality, diversity and resiliency of the housing in each community. The portfolios will be made public after the close of the competition in October and the houses that utilize submitted designs will be placed on Architecture for Humanity's Open Architecture Network and Make It Right's Laboratory, an online forum for green builders.
The competition focuses on three communities, but organizers hope designs will also aid other communities recovering from recent natural disasters, including Moore, Oklahoma.
A total of $30,000 in prize money will be divided equally among three winning designs - one for each location. While the competition will award prizes to these winning designs, any design that meets these criteria will be saved in the portfolio to provide each community with additional housing options to aid in its long-term recovery. Our mission is to construct as many houses based on competition entries as possible.
Entries must be judged feasible to be built through the development models of Architecture for Humanity, Make It Right, and St. Bernard Project and must also incorporate the skills and input of a licensed architect. Organizers hope to be able to collect multiple designs that are suitable for use in each community's ongoing recovery efforts. For more details on how to enter, click here.
"This competition is not about replacing what was lost, but building back something that is better," said AIA President Mickey Jacob, FAIA. "Architects are uniquely qualified for this task, and we look forward to helping select entries that will establish a new standard for resilient, sustainable housing."
"The cities of New Orleans, New York and Joplin are all stark reminders of the emerging threat of severe-weather disasters brought on by a changing climate," said Eric Cesal, Director of Reconstruction and Resiliency at Architecture for Humanity. "Every city can learn from the successes and failures of these three cities and their response to disaster. Designers and architects have a responsibility to do more - and to do better. We hope this competition will draw out the best and brightest new ideas for a world of new risks."

THE Kuala Lumpur Architec-ture Festival (KLAF) is back again for the 11th year promising to break traditional and conventional thinking in the discipline.
At the launch, Malaysian Institute of Architects (PAM) president Chan Seong Aun said the festival features exhibitions, conferences, forums, a gala night and site visits to award-winning and prominent buildings.
Every year we try to get better speakers as the number of visitors increases. Last year, we had 31,000 people attending the festival and this year, we are targetting about 4,000 more, he said.
The festival is introducing the Professional Practice Forum (PPF) 2013 this year and the organisers are expecting every forum and conference to be filled to the brim.
PAM vice-president Abu Zarim Abu Bakar said the growing number of participants each year showed that Malaysia was becoming a hub for architecture.
Architecture festivals such as this allow Malaysian architects to see what is going on overseas, he said.
The festival is designed to attract architects, architecture students, manufacturers, developers, designers and others involved in the architecture industry.
Among the events for KLAF, which will be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre until June 23, are the PAM Annual International Architectural Design Conference which will feature projects by 10 speakers based on the theme Architechnique.
The festivals Kuala Lumpur Design Forum 2013 (KLDF), will feature three female design architects from different parts of Asia, who will be discussing ways to make defunct designs functional.
The highlight is the award-winning annual exhibition, Archidex 13 which will bring together architecture, interior design and building professionals to share and exchange views on new developments in the built environment.
