I've got to start packing for my trip to DC. But I know I won't end up packing till an hour or so before my ride picks me up and without a doubt, I'm bound to forget something real important... like my wallet. Balt can attest to this – twice I’ve forgotten my wallet and once I shown up for my flight a day late!
I guess I could be packing right now but instead I’ll blog about DC. My favorite thing about DC is Lindsay. My second favorite thing is the Liquid Stone: New Architecture in Concrete Exhibit at the National Building Museum .
I’ve seen this exhibit 3 times and I’m can’t wait to see it again! What’s most brilliant about this exhibit is how they’ve incorporated the education component. For most exhibits the education component is non-existent or it is presented separate from the actual exhibit and usually in the form of the exhibit catalog.
I love how the Liquid Stone exhibit is laid out – from an introduction to what is concrete and the various make-ups, to stunning examples of concrete architecture around the world, to how designers, engineers, and architects are pushing concrete into new forms and uses.
If you are in the DC area, this exhibit is a must see and it’s also free.
