Linked: Father’s Day Edition
15 06 2008Northeast - Looking for Something to do with Dad today… how about Artomatic? Today’s the last day of the month long exhibit. [Artomatic]
Southeast - Freelon Group Architects have updated their renderings of the new Anacostia Library and the new design features a giant “A” as part of the facade. This thing is starting to look very iconic. [AnacostiaNow]
Northwest - The District experienced some major power problems on Friday affecting everything from the Metro to street lights and we hear that some residents are still experiencing issues. [InShaw]
Southwest - The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s building at 7th and D is up for landmark status. We’re not so sure this is the type of Extreme Brutalism Architecture that the city needs to be preserving, but we have always liked the Martha Schwartz designed alien saucers up front.
