Architecture Week 2006
Architecture nut? Like the cool buildings in DC but want to be able to talk about them a bit more intelligently? The DC Chapter of the American Institute of Architects is putting on its annual Architecture Week celebration starting September 9th. Events include a walking tour of Penn Quarter, tours of architects’ offices, and a house tour in Rosedale.
Some of the events sound pretty cool, so check them out and mark your calendars.

Guilty–although I have to admit I am no fan of Neoclassicism. To understand the background and transformation of DC, there is no better place than the NBM, which has on display historic, large-scale before-and-after models of the mall and surrounding neighborhoods.
