EUGENE–Michael Price, a University of Oregon graduate student in architecture, will travel to Scandinavia next spring to study and record works by architects from Norway, Sweden and Finland.

His proposal to study architecture in the three countries was selected to receive a $5,000 travel award named for Richard Campbell, a 1956 UO graduate with a bachelor’s degree in architecture. Campbell was a partner in the firm Campbell Yost Grube (now Yost Grube Hall Architecture) in Portland and later in his own firm, Richard Campbell, FAIA. The Campbell Traveling Award has been given to a graduating UO architecture student in alternate years since 1992.

Price’s study will focus on five architects who practiced during the 20th century.

"The architects I have chosen have been historically influential as well as dominant in the creation of significant works within Scandinavia and the world," he says.

Price also won first place in the national Association of College Schools of Architecture Wood Competition for his design of a rotating weathervane for a climactic education center near Kitty Hawk, N.C.

Price will receive his master of architecture degree from the University of Oregon on June 10.
