Bell Circles II, Bronze bell installation at Oregon Convention Center, Portland, US.
The outdoor bronze bell stands within a brick and granite pagoda structure, complementing the architecture of the Oregon Convention Center in Portland.
In February 1990, the city of Sapporo, Japan presented this bell to Portland as a symbol of their sister city relationship.
The installation incorporates both Japanese and Korean bells, representing international connections through an automated sound system that rings throughout the day.
Located in the Lloyd District, the bell can be accessed during Oregon Convention Center operating hours, with periodic chimes occurring at scheduled intervals.
The bell operates on two distinct ringing schedules, with patterns that change during solstices and equinoxes throughout the year.
