On April 12, the University of Oregon hosted a unique creative event to raise awareness about architectural products used in the design field. Sponsored by the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) and the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), Product Runway featured clothing and accessories crafted from various architectural products. Students used flooring, tile, fabric, and other materials to showcase the parallels between the two fields. The result: a fun, relaxed atmosphere to educate audience members about architecture and design.
