'Capital Brutalism' takes over the National Building Museum this June

The next exhibition held at the National Building Museum in Washington will tell the story of D.C.’s Brutalist architecture and its role in reshaping the city after mid-century.  

Organized in collaboration with the Southern Utah Museum of Art, the exhibition features several imaginative re-designs from high-profile firms that posit future adaptations for seven public buildings that have become catalysts for debate. Studio Gang, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Brooks + Scarpa, Gensler, and BLDUS are the firms whose conceptual designs are included. Noted architectural photographer Ty Cole is a co-curator along with University of Oklahoma associate professor Dr. Angela Person.

Capital Brutalism opens on June 1st. It can be viewed alongside the current Frank Lloyd Wright's Southwestern Pennsylvania exhibition, which opened last month and will remain on view until March 17th of next year.
