MODern Buildings in DC - Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden

Location: 700 Independence Ave SW, Washington, DC 20560

Opened: October 4, 1974
Architect:  Gordon Bunshaft

This is a must go place! …. Especially if you have a wide angle lens. On the outside it looks a little intimidating with its circular concrete looking fortress with the little peep window at the top. But when you go under the building, it’s like walking into another world with all the punched windows and the water fountain in the middle. The punched windows and the structure are cohesive with the indent on the inside and the projecting frame on the outside. It’s nice to people watch under the floating structure or to get away from the sun on a hot day. The beautiful exposed structure sits on four legs. The inside is very simple with a circular like track with exhibit areas. Overall, this is a gorgeous concrete building but also has some funky characteristics to it. 

Unique places in DC

I walked around DC for my architecture class and took pictures of interesting buildings.

Deer in My Backyard

My mom spotted a few deer in the backyard one morning and I managed to get a few shots of them. There was a mother deer and three babies. The other pictures didn't turn out soo well but I captured a few that were nice.
